Quilt-a-Long


This scrappy little crib quilt was one I thought about doing as a quiltalong. Instead of doing set in seams I thought we could assemble it on the diagonal. Test run...next photo....

This is as far as I got! Trying to keep it all straight would have driven me batty. I think the idea is to have fun not go nuts!! LOL
This will NOT be our quiltalong.
My online friend Carol finished her Cheddar Cheese and Crackers quilt. I never get tired of seeing this one!!

Viridian started her CC&C using double pinks for the centers. WOW! I'm really loving this one!!

Another CC&C quilt top done by Quilts on the Way and Jean. Way to go ladies!!

If anybody else has finished one I'd love to see it!!

  1. The little doll quilt is wonderful! I can see that it might test one's patience!

  2. I would definitely like to make that one! If I was doing it on my own, I would piece the color sections as a unit (like ocean waves) and use partial seams to assemble them thus avoiding doing any set in seams. I think that would be easier than piecing it on the diagonal. I use partial seams a lot and am so glad I learned the technique years ago.

  6. Oh, but I got very excited there. I'm sure you'll find something great. Maybe, just maybe I would attempt it myself but thanks for thinking of the frustration level for us.

  7. The new quilt along did seem like a good idea. Your red background was nifty. I liked Viridian's pink center version very much! Now, why didn't I think of that. Hmmm, might have to start another one (seriously, not kidding). Thanks for posting the finished ones. Mine is still a top (hanging head in shame).

  9. Well this Karen sure loves seeing the continual CC&C's coming in. Thanks for sharing. I AM IN LOVE with the double pink center version. Might have to make another one. Three? I know and I haven't even worked on my hand quilting which really I should get on that but you know where my head is at... hee!

  12. I love that quilt! You do have an eye for picking them- I'm still thinking about working out the devil's claw with all the little 1/2 square triangles as well. Crib and small quilts at least have a chance of getting finished...
