The pattern called for 30 blocks set 5 x 6 with 1-1/2" sashings between to yield a 56" x 74" quilt.This was a bit smaller than I wanted, so I planned changes, including upping the sashing width to 2".
It wasn't until after I had carefully set out all my blocks, adding an extra row of five that I realized I would then have a very long and still very skinny quilt. Ooops! Rearranged to a 6 x 6 setting my quilt will finish to at least 70" square, possibly larger depending on my border width choice.
I will finish the last three blocks today. Then I will wait for the batiks I ordered from Hancocks of Paducah to arrive so I can cut and piece the sashings and borders. See many other design walls at Patchwork Times
Y'all come back!
Looking good. Only three left is great progress.
ReplyDeleteI like the scrappiness of the quilt. Looking good!!
ReplyDeleteThat should turn out very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty but what were you thinking planning on making so many HSTs? Looking forward to seeing it completed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun pattern, they do like little fluffs of cotton.
