Isn't it funny 'how a little thing' can spark a creative moment?
I was wondering which quilt to make for my niece for Christmas when I saw on FB that she had tie dyed a shirt, of all colors PINK! I know she likes black, white and gray but add in pink and YES! Also at my day guild September's focus is 'Stack and Whack' type quilts. So I am combining these two elements to make a 4 Patch Posie quilt for said niece.
Here is the fabric I chose and the four repeat cuts.
Here are the blocks that I cut and made. I even made one block twice!

I brought this pattern many moons ago and was totally confused by the
directions. Fortunately I had a few very knowledgable sewing friends that
explained it to me!
Now I need to re-arrange the blocks to balance the colors and add sashings. I don't have enough of the original fabric to make wide borders so I'll need to adjust my thinking. LOL

Interesting looking blocks, I've never done a stack and whack before. Looking forward to seeing how you put this together, should be a very pretty quilt in those lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered how those blocks were made, so that video was helpful! Your blocks are really pretty - love those colors together. What color sashing do you think?
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are beautiful and such a fun way to make them!!!! Thanks for the link to the YouTube video, too.
