It all started with a giant pile of left over HST blocks.
I paired them up and chain pieced away.
For this quilt, I made a bold move and pressed the seams open. I may never do it again, but I will say, my blocks are absolutely, most incredibly FLAT.
The other unusual for me process with this quilt was to match my seams and needle down in the intersection, starting with the last block and working my way backward one intersection at a time.
It was a lot of stopping and starting, but I found it delightful that my points never had a chance to shift out of place.
Look at this aqua chevron stripe near the top!! It totally makes the quilt for me!
The idea came to me in a stroke of after-dark over-caffeinated genius, and I'm super happy with the results!
Moving immediately on to something completely different, I pulled a finished quilt top out of the pending pile and quilted it up.
And a sneak peek of the back... Binding is still going on.
Absolutely cannot wait to pull the last stitch on this guy, and then whip out a baby girl gift for a work colleague.
Add to that one birthday party and breakfast delivery for 12-15 on Sunday and it looks to all add up to a mighty busy two day weekend.
Better get busy!
Happy Quilting,
Dawn
