When that didn't work out I started another big giant quilt. Oops. I am making the "Make This Quilt" quilt from Sunday Morning Quilts. I am scaling it down a little bit because I am going to back it with Folksly Flannel and I don't have quite enough to make the 80x88" version in the book, so mine will be a few inches smaller. This is still going to require 800+ 2.5" colored squares and the same number of white squares.
The great news is that unlike my Maple Leaf Rag quilt (which I loved making but which created as many scraps as it used) I am making a good dent in my scraps. I am also using a couple of mini charm packs I had on hand.
Hopefully I will make some progress on one or both of these this week. I am also planning on making a Super Tote soon, I just can't decide what fabrics I want to use.
Linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
Cute quilt blocks! What about adding pink borders around some and filler strips? Two birds one stone?
ReplyDeleteIt's very sweet in any case.
I love all the blocks! I'm also drawn to your blog title "Kitchen Table Quilting" as that is where I have to do all my work as well. (Well, and the coffee table sometimes).
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet blocks for a baby quilt Erica.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with the Super Tote! I made mine about 80% of regular size and LOVE it. Those little squares are so pretty!
ReplyDeletethe baby blocks are darling! you've got some zingy modern quilting going on here from the looks of your banner. (you know, like they are fresh and have some zing or pep to them?)
ReplyDeleteYour citrus blocks are looking great, can't wait to see it finished;)
ReplyDeleteooooh, it's going to be another fantastic quilt, Erica.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the fabrics you are using for both quilts. Could you use pink fabrics as a background/sashing for the blocks you've already made, in an improv kind of way, so that you don't have to cut them down too much?
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are so pretty! I love the colour palette. And the fussy cuts are adorable!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt blocks! What is that adorable fussy cut fabric in the center of your blocks?
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are so cute! Great fabric choices. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it is going to be adorable.
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely. Baby quilts are so fun!
ReplyDeleteI like those blocks!
ReplyDeleteAnd 800+ print and another 800+ white squares scares me a bit!!! :)
Such cute blocks! I love the fussy cutting centres! So nice. You're brave to start another big giant quilt so soon! I'm super impressed :) Your constellations quilt is awesome!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The colour palette is so pretty and I love the fussy cut centres for your blocks. This will be a very nice quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your baby quilt blocks. Color balance looks fab from here!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with all those gorgeous scraps. What a fun mix of colors!
ReplyDeleteI love your projects :) I have some yardage of Pearl Bracelets that I have been saving to make a Super Tote.
