Hello All,
I'm making a new quilt! No, I haven't finished the one for my son I showed with the
light and dark blue squares, but I've started a new one anyway. I usually only work on one at a time and finish before I move on, but i'm breaking the rules! Winter is coming and I want a quilt for MY bed for once! I've never kept a quilt before, it will be a new thing.
So ok, here's the concept. It will be king sized, and will have 40 blocks on my side in red and pink, and 40 blocks on his side in green and blue, then down the middle will be 10 blocks with red/pink mixed with green/blue (that's us snuggling!) and the whole thing sashed in white.
I just let the fabrics decide how they wanted the blocks to be measured. I just told the fabrics that the blocks all had to come out to 10 1/2" square, but otherwise they could be however they wanted to be. The larger motif prints got center squares to fit their scale, and the same for the larger motif framing prints. Everyone got to be themselves and show off to their best advantage. And if someone didn't have enough fabric but still wanted to be in the quilt (i'm talking to YOU red and white daisies!) other fabrics jumped in to help.
I'll do three posts with the new blocks. Here is the first post! Feel free to click the photos to enlarge. Which block is your favorite of today's set?
