All the blocks have been completed and rows joined together! I tweaked the pattern a little bit, apart from making a smaller version (16 blocks instead of 36), I also changed the measurements slightly since I wanted to make sure I'd have enough fabric from my fat quarters. As a result, my blocks are more squares than rectangles and I didn't think through the implications this would have for adding sashing. It all worked out well with some minor adjustments. I think it would have been better to follow the pattern faithfully since it would have been a little more forgiving in terms of hiding when the square blocks weren't exactly squares. From a distance it isn't too obvious when the blocks didn't meet up at least.
Now I need to decide what to do about the quilt back! I definitely can't follow the pattern for this one since I don't have enough leftover fabric, though I think I do want to incorporate whatever is left as well as use the remaining fat quarters from the bundle.
Linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pierced. Thanks for stopping by!
How funny - I'm working on a project using the same color scheme! Love this project - can't wait to see what you come up with for the back!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I love how bright and cheerful this color scheme is!
