Time to get your Whoop! Whoop! on! and it is already August!
School starts on 9.2.2014!
This morning while babysitting, er, actively doing laundry - I was able to sew back the binding on the latest quilt. A QOV that
Nancy from Wyoming Breezes had sent the flag panel to me - many moons ago!
There is no formal pattern that I followed. I just staggered the red/blue crumb blocks and inserted the flag panel towards the top of the quilt. Imagine my surprise when I checked out the
Moda Bakeshop and there is a tutorial for a
Staggered Squares pillow that uses the same technique I used! I was thinking about adding a white border but the darker border just seemed to enclose/ stop the pattern. So - I went with the dark! plus - I was out of the matching white fabric! Well...I had about 6 inches left from a 2 yard cut.
Tami - here is a
tutorial for the crumb blocks that I use to make my blocks. (also known as mile-a-minute blocks) I store my leftover fabric according to color in banker boxes and when the box lid doesn't close...I sew up some crumb blocks. I sew and sew until I can trim them to 6.5 inches comfortably.
I quilted it with the
Halcyon panto. I like the curvy texture combined with all the lines of this quilt.
Today I am linking up with
Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict
and
