Yesterday's Old Town Reveal was exciting and I'm glad it's over. Participating in a mystery quilt along is a real challenge for me. I'm a control freak when it comes to quilting but over the years I learned to trust Bonnie. Now that I've seen the quilt design I can relax and enjoy assembling the quilt. I didn't have any sewing time yesterday, but I did find the time arrange one block on a design board.
Before tackling the quilt assembly, I thought it would be a good idea to trim the 341 half square triangles. Most of these were made from the scraps of the Old Town Mystery Quilt. The smallest HST I will make is one inch. Not sure what I will make with a HST that small, but it sounds like fun challenge.
The stash of HST's has almost outgrown this container. I think it's time to pick a pattern and make a quilt from some of these this year.
I thought of you when part 9 was revealed yesterday. I thought perhaps you would have those blocks finished to show us this morning! Have an enjoyable weekend piecing the rest of the blocks, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteLove your color palette in that block. That's a lot of HST's! I have a stack, but not quite that big.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I hope that you get some sewing time today and get a few of those beautiful blocks sewn up! About ten years ago I started making pinwheels from my leftover binding strips. Once I realized that I'd have to live to be about 200 to make an actual quilt, I started adding from my scraps. Only ten more years to go lol, but it is gonna be gorgeous and a nice memory quilt of all the fabrics I've used.
ReplyDeleteThe smallest HST I will keep is 1.5" People bring me their scrap triangles LOL
ReplyDeleteI am doing the BH mystery, but have no block together yet. I seem to keep up
pretty well until about the 6th clue, and then slow way down, and it's been that way with all of them that I have done
