I had a great time using this colorful Fishy fabric. The quilt will be given to Project Linus.

Project Linus is such a wonderful organization! That is fantastic and the child that receives it will LOVE it for sure!!!!

That will sure be one lucky kid! It's beautiful :)

I love it! The recipient will appreciate it for sure.

I've got to buy me some stack and whack directions. That is so neat!

Thank you for the compliment. No need to buy directions.

Just line up 4 layers- cut into 6 1/2" squares then into quarters on the diagonal. Sew each set together- Like magic great designs pop up! Then just add sashings (I cut mine 2")

What a cheerful, pretty quilt, it will brighten up somebody's day.

WOW!! I LOVE those bright colors!!! You did a beautiful job on this quilt :D:D:D

That really is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

So you take the 4 layers from each quarter and sew them together to make the individual block?

Yes, that's the idea! Give it a try and have fun.
Evelyn

That turned out so cool. Great job. They will be getting a good one here.

Cute!

Love the bright colors! Good job.

Ok, so once you cut the squares into diagonals, you have 4 stacks of 4 triangles in each. What do you sew together? the 4 pieces in each stack?

Awesome job on the quilt. And what a wonderful donation to children in need. Great Job!!!

Thanks for the reminder of how to make these adorable quilts. Project Linus is so lucky to have you in their corner. Great work.

Oh! That's soooooo pretty! Some lucky child awaits!

i LOVE IT!!

Yes. You can actually make a good one by just using the squares ... I shouldn't sound like I know what I am talking about ... but, this is basically a "Tip Toe through the Hexagon" thing. One block wonder ... or stack and whack.
The principle is to line up the fabric repeats on top of each other ... cut the shape you want to use - - a square, or an equilateral triangle, or squares cut on the diagonals.
When you have completed your cutting, take one stack of four and lay them out, then join them so that the same colors/figures line up in the same place within the block you are about to sew.
If you do a search (by going to the top of the page, clicking on search) type in the words "Tip Toe through the Hexagons" and you will find three tutorials by CuteBuns ... don't let the hexagons throw you, just read through Cutie's excellent instructions and enjoy the students as they work through the fabric selection, the cutting, the sewing, and the laying out ...
And, by all means! Keep asking questions, because here at the Board, we are here to help <wave>

It's beautiful! I love the colors. Thank you for donating your talents to the Linus Foundation, I am sure this quilt will make a positive difference to someone's life.

Bright & beautiful. You will make a child very happy. Project Linus is a great org

Wow that is fabulouis.
