I arrived with all of my HRTs made and assembled into strips of 8 or 4. Blocks were kitted to avoid (in theory) two of the same of similar fabrics touching.
Once the blocks were made, my daughter helped with the arranging.
My quilt top measures 72 x 80'' and I am just in love with it. All the fabric is from Sweetwater by Moda - there are at least twenty fabric lines represented including their very first Authentic. (See list on this post.)
Wind made the photo shoot of the quilt top a bit difficult but nothing beats a photo by a lighthouse!
I'll be quilting this on my domestic machine but no plan yet on how to do this!
My HRTs were 2 x 4 '' finished. I wrote a tutorial on the process of creating this really fun block.
The lighthouse pictured is the Hatteras lighthouse, iconic for North Carolina. My husband and son climbed up while my girls and I waited below and waved!
Have a wonderful day! Patty
I love the outer banks, so pretty and the lighthouses are fun to climb. Gorgeous quilt with all your HRTs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt top and location to photograph it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely top! It will evoke memories of the trip once done.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt top, too! Great location for photography and fun!
ReplyDeleteIt must be an interesting quilt to look over with all of those lines in there. It must weigh a ton though with all of those seams. I wonder how you would press the seams on something like this.
ReplyDeleteEverything in this post is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, a very pretty and detailed quilt. I had never heard of HRTs before, and these are really nice.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have come really far. Lovely quilt top! Have fun figuring out how you want your quilting :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Way to stick with it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and great location. Congrats on piecing the top. That was surely a labor of love!
ReplyDeleteWind made the photo shoot fun! Great shots. Your plan (waving from the bottom) was genius!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt, fabulous photo shoot! Glad you had a nice vacation. It looks like a lovely spot to gather together for a week!
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt. I am going straight over to your tutorial, because I am going to (try) to make one!
ReplyDeleteA very fun scrappy quilt! Yeah it's going to have to go on my list too, I've got lots of scraps that need to find a home soon. Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what a photo shoot! The wind made your quilt top look like a sail of a ship. Lovely views from the lighthouse too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun photo shoot! It is a gorgeous quilt and I look forward to seeing how you quilt it.
ReplyDeleteI am partial to lighthouses (I have a passport from the Lighthouse Historical Society and get stamps for each one I visit) -- haven't been to OBX yet. Love the HRTs waving in the ocean breeze!
