Finished projects or at least tops, not sure when they will be quilted down. I liked the scale of the border on the Cherry Goose project shown above but the quilt was a bit small so I ended up with borders the same size as the squares. The Red pin dot in the upper corners is a different one than used in the quilt, the binding will be made of the same fabric as those corners it touches. Top ended at 68x92", so good for a twin, a bit narrow for a queen. The Goose units were 4" across -- as designed the Oasis project was 6" across.
The yellow and black version was a challenge to myself. I find it hard to appreciate much less use large scale prints, but I saw the yellow, black, and grey fabrics at the thrift store at a dollar a yard. I modified the goose units in the center into what I call the "candy kiss" as described in a previous post, and they are designed at 5" across. I only had exactly the amounts I bought -- 2 yards each of the large scale yellow and black, and one yard of each of the others. I didn't have enough for a border treatment but I did have enough for one more column of 6 blocks. I didn't like the way it looked with the squares because being even/4 across like originally designed and so turned the blocks into basically a super-large scale "Cracker" block, making the hourglass/QST shape instead. Finished size is 70x84". Will be bound with plain black binding.
I did have to label the blocks for/after layout, there is one each of 5 motifs going across the quilt and one extra block in each column going down.
The Minion fabric was what I found when I was going through my stash chanting to myself "black and white and grey and yellow" and was the only piece I had large enough that fit the design color conditions. At first I was resistant putting the Minions in with the large "adult" prints but told myself to go ahead -- they met the design criteria. The small triangles that are black I originally wanted grey that matched the background of the grey cherry blossom print, but although I had 3 grey pieces large enough none of them were the right shade. My original mental vision had much more grey and paler tones than what I ended up with, but I'm in the Seattle area and even though Joann is near by and still open, I'm supposed to be on lock down and was determined to use stash only.
I have one more of these in me -- an all scrappy version. Going to scale it down further to a 3" goose unit, making a 6" block which I will then alternate with QST units. Don't see me actually making that for at least a year.
