I got 16 more blocks done for my postage stamp quilt .... It really is SO easy, and moves along fairly quickly. Of course I'm using a strip-piecing method - I'm not sitting there stitching together a gazillion little 1½" squares of fabric. From one Honey Bun and a couple of yards of cream fabric, I got 32 blocks, each 8" (finished). I will probably leave off two of the blocks and just do a 5x6 block layout for the lap quilt. Here's where it's at right now ...
Love that quilt(to be). You have motivated me to start one of my own....thanks..
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt---I love small blocks and small quilts--so you win on the small blocks!!! What size will this be "about" when you are done??/ Are you just doing this or is it a pattern???

Blissful Di ... I didn't have a pattern, but I did take a quick look at some of the ones shown on the internet to get an idea as to how many strips I needed to do. I wanted to see how much cream-colored fabric I'd need. Each block has 64 squares ... measures 8" square (finished). I think it will be about 40" x 48" for the body of the quilt. But I still have to add a couple of borders too. So it will increase in size.
ReplyDeleteQuilting Queen ... With strip piecing it doesn't take that long at all. And I used one of the honey bun pre-cuts from Moda ... so I didn't even have to cut those strips. It really went together fast.
