I cut some more light purples from my yardage and now have 19 dark and 18 light strips. That will only make a quilt 48" square so I have more cutting to do.
I sewed some strip sets while watching a movie. They are ready to press and cross cut for 2 blocks from each combination. I have a tutorial for the 16 patch that guarantees seams going in opposing directions when sewing the blocks into a quilt......guaranteed if you follow the directions.
The rest of the strips are paired and ready to sew. Today is supposed to be our first snowstorm of the winter so I probably won't leave home today.
Love those purples. I saved your 16 patch tutorial last year and want to make some in the New Year :) Last night I finished my first 'hexagon' table topper and I'm so pleased with the result; (I'll send you a pic later when I get it off my camera). It's a bit milder here today and forecast the same for the coming week (fingers crossed).
Lovely purples. I have used your tutorial several times and am always pleased with how the seams meet. I'm selecting fabric this week for another one of your quilts, the Neapolitan quilt. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. A little planning when pressing makes so many projects go together so much easier. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNow this purple one caught my eye......favorite and know it will be spectacular! Your tutorials are great, thanks.
