Welcome to my turn for Day 6
Go! Ahead and Show Some Love Blog Hop
Today I am hosting along with Paulette of Sweet P Quilting and Creations
and Tracey of The Peony Teacup
I hope you enjoy your visit.
Here is what I'd like to share with you.
I used the 2 1/2" finished HST's that are on the Value Die which come with the Accuquilt Go! I think it is the most versatile die and I love it!
I made a traditional Lady of the Lake
2-Color Red & White scrappy BIG quilt
First I started with a stack of reds and a bolt of Kona white
You will see my finished and quilted quilt at the end of this posting. Be patient. LOL
I cut strips of red and white fabric right sides together and laid them on my Accuquilt Cutter die.
Usually I do about 4 layers per cutting session. Some people do more but I like to take it easy on the blades.
Then I chain-pieced until I couldn't see or sit straight anymore
My pattern called for 720 HST's. I wanted my quilt big. You can adjust your quilt size to suit your fancy. I just like 'em big. SO nice to snuggle up into.
I forgot to take some photos along the way, but you will just love the outcome anyway. I hope.
Block one done, just 35 more to go!
You can arrange these blocks to give you many different setting options too!
Ta Da!

What a fun block -- I'm imagining the many different patterns you can make. Never thought I'd be a 'red-and-white' gal, but this is growing on me. : )

ReplyDeleteHi teachpany, the large center HST is 8 1/2 inches.
DeleteHappy Quilting.
