Just starting to sew my purple Labyrinth Walk
1 Attachment(s)
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. :) Dina |
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?

Thanks for making me measure though. :) Dina |
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.
