My quilt (60'' x 60'') has 3600 1'' squares (finished size) of fabric - half are color and half are shades of white.
In the 100 days leading up to QuiltCon Together, I gave myself the challenge to create a 6 1/2'' x 6 1/2'' block made from scraps.
I started by making 4 patches and then joined nine 4 patches together to make the 6 1/2'' square. Once I had 100 of those, I joined them into groups of 4 (12 1/2'' square) and then continued to join them together. All seams were pressed open which both slowed down the process but also made joining blocks easier because I didn't need to think about which directions seams should be pressed!
In the final layout, I tried real hard to make sure no duplicate colors were touching diagonally and then didn't worry about it beyond that.
I've got a quilting plan in mind using my walking foot and am thinking I will try to spray baste this one - it will be my first spray basting attempt on anything beyond a small mini.
Still deciding whether or not I should set this inside a border of white to gives ones eyes a bit of a rest!
It's a lovely quilt! I like that you put the white in between to break up the colors! Have a safe and happy day!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting all the blocks assembled; it's such a happy and fun quilt. And hooray for already having a quilting plan in mind!

ReplyDeleteI think adding the small white border would add a lot to the quilt!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of little squares, but it looks great. Good luck with quilting.
