Thanks for all the suggestions for the background choice for this quilt. As you can see I decided to go with the Cheddar. This is the quilt I hope to make. It's a pattern from a really old quilting magazine. The pattern is really simple just a lot of sewing - that's why I am doing it as a leader ender project.
It's really just a lot of 2 inch squares sewn around a 5 inch square center with sashing strips. I haven't gotten as far as the sashing strips yet.
You cut the squares and sew them together like this 6 patches and 14 patches.
Then sew the squares around the center block. So simple you don't even need written directions.
I have completed about 20 blocks so far and now I need to make some more 6 and 14 patches.
Back to the leader enders.
Happy Stitching,
Nancy
Looks great!! What size is the sashing in the pattern?
ReplyDeleteWhat a scrappy delight this will be!
ReplyDeleteThat is just a wonderful pattern. I have a box of scraps that I've been looking for something to do with. This would be just perfect. Thanks!
