Fenced In Quilt Top!


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!
