Moving forward with my current Baby Quilt Project...I have decided on the Hour Glass Block...
Simply because I have not made one in a SCRAPPY version and why not make it a Baby Quilt...
You know...
just in case the whole thing bores me to death and I just want to get it done!
Does this happen to YOU...or am I the ONLY one who faces this delimna?
I digress.
Never mind the fact that Kathleen has a bazillion projects in various stages of progress in the Studio to date...
It's how I ROLL!
At this point I have a Bucket List of projects that I want to do and what better way to attack the list but by making them into smaller projects...
like Baby Quilts...
Now...there's a PLAN!
Here's the skinny of what I did today...
-Cut 5.5" squares from your Print Fabrics AND your Background Fabric...to make the quilt the same size I am (36" X 44" Finished) you will need a total of 50 print squares and 50 background squares.
-Draw a line Corner to Corner on the WRONG side of all your background squares.
-RST one background square with one printed square and pin to hold in place...do this with all 50.
-Using the line as you guide...sew a 1/4" seam allowance from BOTH sides of the line...this is what I am doing today (in the picture above...be sure to double click the picture to enlarge it for better visual abiltiy)
I like to chain piece...feeding one block in right after the other...it makes for a quicker turn around!
I also like to binge watch something on Netflix and sip on copious amounts of COFFEE...so I can escape reality and live vicariously through a fictional character!
LOL!
Stay tuned...
Quilt on!
