The Making of My Navy and White Quilt - Update on page 19
#31
Fighting p-monia here, but managed to get something accomplished yesterday.
I now have the 4 patches done.
When cutting the strips to mkae them, I layer them with the colors across from each each other, so that I can pick up the first 2 and they are ready to sew.

And then I chain pieced them. Something I have learned to do here on this board. :D Sorta like peeling that apple, can I sew 80 4 patches with out having to break the thread. :lol: :lol: :lol:

then cutting the threads and hand pressing them open.

Here's what I have so far, 110 9 patches with 990 pieces in them
80 4 patches with 320 pieces in them.
This is a picture of all the pieces.
The wide strip sets on the left are the next to do, I have already cut some of them into 1 1/2 inch segments. I have cut 80 of each, to be sewn into 80 rectangles.

Sorry, I guess I should have told the name,
It is called BURGOYNE

What pattern are you using? This is kind of like a mystery quilt, but you're doing all the work and we just get to watch! Whatever pattern it is, it's going to be beautiful--the blue and white are so crisp together! n Keep posting you progres, please!

this pattern comes from a book called QUILTING, pieces of the past
It is called BURGOYNE
I can just keep going as I am , and you can watch the squares start to come together, which is what I was planning on doing, and let you see how it progresses.
Or I can try to post a picture from the book of how it is supposed to look when it is finished?
Or, for those of you who want to know now, you could PM me your e-mail address and I can send you a picture, that way everyone , including me, :D is happy!

We just can't wait to see the finished quilt, Ninnie.
I'm just going to wait until I see "yours".
Seeing the step by step assembly is helpful and interesting.
BTW, I really like navy and white! :lol:
