Hello, quilty friends! Come on in and join me in a happy dance because I’ve officially finished all 169 Cake Stand blocks! Yippee!
Of course, there were a few mishaps along the way.
If I caught the mistakes before the block was sewn together, I fixed them immediately. I might go back and repair the ones I missed later, I think there was only two from last week.
During my downtime, I also managed to make a few more yo-yos for my coverlet.
In a recent post, a reader asked about my layout plans for the yo-yos. I’ve shared my current design below, which will finish at 101 inches. However, this is still subject to change because I keep finding new inspiration on Pinterest.
This week, my focus is on finishing the remaining alternate blocks for the Cake Stand Quilt. Since these are simple 16-patch blocks, they should come together much faster.
Only 72 more blocks to go!
Since this quilt is set on point, I still need to piece together the setting and corner triangles. I have already cut the squares for these blocks, but I still need to finish cutting the triangles.
I’ve included my EQ8 design for the quilt below. At approximately 91 inches, it’s a generous size, but I’m still debating whether to add an outer solid border to help frame the design and stabilize the edges. For now, I’m keeping my options open and will see how I feel about it the closer it gets to being a quilt top.
