Guess what folks? The nights are starting to get cooler. There have been a few mornings when it's felt downright chilly in our house. And that promised quilt is nowhere near done.
Some of you may recall my restriction of one block per week on said quilt while I worked on more pressing deadlines. But this has now moved itself up the priority list. A lot. Instead of making one block at a time, I've switched to chain piecing. Much better, by the way. In the span of a week, I've gone from 3 finished blocks to 23 finished blocks, fitting in only 30-60 minutes a day.
I think I better get back to the sewing machine. 77 blocks left!

This us such a great start! Great simplicity. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the red and white--looks like a really nice shade of red. From the photos, it looks like you made your pluses using a nine-patch block. I am contemplating a quilt using a plus block and I've been wondering if the center bar could be a solid strip instead of three squares in the same color. Do you think that would work?
ReplyDeleteReally pretty quilt. I love the visual impact the two color quilt has. It's quite "in your face" and simple at the same time. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! Do you have Swiss roots? I have to say that despite living here I never thought to make a Swiss Flag quilt, but this has certainly set the cogs in motion. Thanks so much for sharing

This is the kind of quilt that is a bugger to make (monotonous!) but so stunning when finished. Big payoff. I'm excited to see it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this quilt! I am currently working on a cross design as well! You can beat fall/winter's sting! GO GIRL! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I can never get enough of red :)
