I couldn't figure out a good pressing plan if I sewed the blocks into strips or 4 patches, to get the seams going in opposite directions for matching in the construction of the top. I decided I would just wing it and sew top together, webbing it. First I laid out the 4 different corners fabrics in rows on my cabinet.
Then I started sewing it together alternating positions of the 4 different triangle fabrics.
I got all of the seams sewn in one direction and have 3 seams sewn in the other direction in this photo. The rest is just hanging from the webbing threads.
This close up gives a better look at the sewn rows and the webbing technique.
I had miscounted the blocks that were sewn and had more than I thought. I sewed the 20 that I cut yesterday morning and had enough to do a 12 x 15 layout. The blocks are 3" finished.
Looks like a pretty spring garden! We can use that right about now, in the most boring depths of winter!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece--like a field of flowers blooming;))) I don't manage webbing very well on larger pieces...things seem to get all tangled and turned around!!
ReplyDelete25 degrees here right now and snowing--it's supposedly going to turn into freezing rain and sleet--ugh!! Snow i can take but not those two!!
Good day to stay in and work on my projects...
hugs, Julierose
pretty....can't go wrong with such beautiful fabrics
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Makes me want a flower garden.
ReplyDeleteI can’t believe how nicely your webbed rows lay. Maybe it’s because the blocks are just 3”. When I end up webbing a top, the blocks wiggle and sag and flop like fish, lol.
ReplyDeleteOn this cloudy day it's nice to see the spring-like prints in your latest project.
ReplyDeleteThose cheerful, pretty fabrics give this growing quilt top a very welcome Springtime look!
ReplyDeleteI have never webbed my quilt blocks together.
Stormy morning here with a high of 57*F and a low of 51*F. How odd is that?
Hugs!
I never do webbing I don't like so much together it gets in my way. Nice that you have it work for you - pretty colors
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteWebbing is one of the best construction tips you taught me. I love this quilt! Could be even more garden like set on point. -Roxanne
ReplyDeleteGreen corners sparkle like gems in this piece ~ it has a charisma of happiness just looking at it.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and pattern in this very spring-ish quilt!
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are really turning out pretty. Are they from a book, or from that fertile brain of yours???
