I'm calling it Summit Stitches. You know how I got to the summit of Mt St Helens? One step at a time! We will take the sewalong slow and steady just like that hike. (I'm still in a bit of recovery mode!)
This photo is so you can see what fabric the original has
How sweet is this?
Does anybody else have 1 1/2" strips or squares? I'll hunt through this bag first. That is the size we will use.
Normally I have my quilt made ahead of the quiltalong, but this year I'm making it with you, although I own the vintage little quilt.
Our little quilt, when completed, will measure approx 25" square.
You may even have little 4 patches made and tucked away in your sewing room. This is how we are going to start. Let's make some 4 patches!
You can use light/dark like the 2 above but you can also use mediums as well. I think mixing it up adds interest. We are not going to be in a hurry, but we are making 80 of them! Don't let that scare you off.
Press toward the dark, spin the seams if you want. Your 4 patches should measure 2 1/2".
Let me know if you are sewing along.
