I wanted to give you a few more closeups of the original little quilt. I'm making sure to add a few homespuns!
And sweet directional fabric.
When I ran out of squares I wanted to use, I started using the 1 1/2" strips. I was hoping to get these sewn before heading to Houston but my flight leaves so early I had to get ready for bed super early!
The 4 patches are so cute! Originally I told you 80.... 80 is a great starting place but we will actually need 320 4 patches! I corrected that on the first post so don't think you are going crazy. It's not a race!
I've been on a sewing hiatus over summer and it is such a nice way to get back into the sewing rhythm.
I'm hoping to have a little get together on Thursday if you'll be in Houston! Let me know!!
Hi Lori, This little quilt is precious. I haven’t blogged in years. My last post was about the antique block challenge you had! I may participate in this stitch along. What do you think about the quilts in Houston? I would never dismiss them as being uncreative and certainly they exhibit wonderful talent and skill, but I am disappointed to see so much of it now (atleast the majority of award winners)is more akin to photographic work…..portraits of people, animals, cities, etc.as well as highly stylized piecing and quilting. I love scrappy quilts so much and I am just sad to see so few of them. I think I am drawn to their imperfections and everyday fabrics. Did you see many of the scrappy, more traditional pieced quilts on display in Houston this year?
