I'm going to love that quilt. Speaking of love....this Adventurously Epic Sampler quilt is going to be fabulous!! Here's the block from last week...
The silver highlights?!? I know it's going to take a while to finish (2 years) but I'm already really enjoying it and know this will look fantastic on my bed! :)
Yesterday, I did my block for the 52 Weeks with the Quilter's Planner being hosted by Gnome Angel. If you're making this block, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- The subcut directions for white state 2-1/4" squares and 2-1/2" squares. But you're subcutting from a 1-1/2" strip so the squares needs to be disregarded. They'll be rectangles.
- Also in the same section, the 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" is wrong. They should be 1-1/2" x 2".
- Watch your 1/4" seams. There are, what, 10 seams in a row? If they are off, even by a little, you'll be having trouble when joining them.
I really like how it turned out.
And, in between all the rest of my sewing this week, I got another 15 stars put together for the Stargyle Quilt!
The rest of the blocks are pinned and next to the sewing machine to continue their role as leaders/enders.
Hopefully I'll be able to share my project for Free Spirit soon. I'm really excited about it. :)
