Just starting to sew my purple Labyrinth Walk
 

I am just getting started sewing on my purple Labyrinth Walk. I asked earlier if I should be using a scant 1/4 inch whenever it was possible, and just in case anyone else wants to know what I learned, the answer is yes. Much of the time I am making half square triangles, and it doesn't come into play when making those...or at least not any way that I have figured out.

Anyway, I have one block completed. I have learned a lot. I have a few areas I need to improve on and I need to iron better, but so far I am pleased.

See... The picture is sideways, but I don't think that matters at this stage. :)

Very nice!! Good to know about the scant 1/4". Looking forward to seeing the quilt as it progresses.

Very pretty. I know it is probably an optical illusion, but the picture makes your block very un-square. Have you measured it to be sure it is the size you need?

I don't really know what size it is supposed to be, but I just measured it. It is 22 1/4 inches square. This will be a queen sized quilt. I have 8 more blocks to go. Five are like this and then four of another design. Then they have to be connected somehow. I am just taking it one step at a time, relieved that I finally got all of the pieces cut and could start sewing.

Thanks for making me measure though. :)

a good start

Thanks for posting this info. I want to make this quilt for my son eventually and it's always nice to get "inside" information. Your colors choices will make for a great effect too :)

Can't wait to see it when it's finished! Love the colors.

The block is beautiful. I like the colors you chose.

that looks so sharp! makes me really want to crawl right in there.

thanks, Dina! I bought the pattern because my DD liked it, haven't started it yet but will some day!

I just love your quilts and I will be excited to see how this progresses. I hope no one that likes to ask me to make them a quilt sees this I just don't know if I could possibly make it. I will live vicariously through you!

I made this quilt for my eldest son. I used lilac instead of the darkest purple. It will be beautiful.

That is going to be a beautiful quilt. Thank you for the tip of using a scant 1/4" seam allowance. I have that pattern and still afraid to attempt it. I have trouble picking colors-will need help when I get brave enough to make it. I have read that this is a pattern that you have to go "slow and steady" and really concentrate on placement. You are doing a wonderful job.

So cool! I know it's gong to be just beautiful, especially since it is Purple!! my favorite color and seems to be yours too!. I want to make a Labyrinth Walk in the future, but have so many that I need to get done before especially with my health. I just hope to get them all done before I am no longer able to quilt.

great start love the color choice

Love your colors. It's going to be a fun quilt with that design.
