The H Quilt
 

The original H quilt was done by Doreen Hendirix. I saw it, loved it, and want to do it. She graciously sent me her work up on it and I have thrown a few ugly patches lol up on the board just to see. These are a 9 patch H. I will then throw up an 11 patch H and see if I like that better.

I cut the patches at 2.5, so the will end up at 2 inches.

I think your "H's"look great just as they are. It is so interesting the way they intersect with each other.

Linda from Missouri

I like it to.

Looking good!

looks good that way

I used 11 patches and all I can think of is, Daddy Longlegs lol. I will use the long legs.

very nice................

That will make an incredible quilt!!

going to be a cute quilt.

I Like it! Can't wait to see it all done!

I couldn't figure out what an H quilt would be. What a great design for a scrappy quilt.

Coming along nicely.

Oh boy and you have to stay organized don't cha! think I'll give this a try. I've done several puzzle quilts and getting tired of the pattern even tho mine is an easy one.

Julie, your sig line is so true!

Slow down! I can't keep up with you! I have made 3 Burgoyne Surrounded blocks, cut blocks for the crosses and now you have another one that I want to try. LOL I am addicted to scrappy and you have shown some great ones. You are an inspiration.l

Oh Daffy, it is beautiful. I can see the fabric very clear in this one.

hahahahah I can't help it. I sew fast lol.

All this afternoon I have cut squares and placed them on the design board. The board is full. I have started to sew some sections now to get more space. There are three sections on the right that are sewed together in rows of seven blocks. The blocks are not sewed together yet. They look so different once the are sewed together.

I don't quite understand. I would use just three pieces of each color to make the appearance of the H. Is there a reason for 9 or 11?

I prefer the 9 patch H too. I think it will look better with pretty colors. Even though the 11 patch is too long, the colors look better! I'll wait to see your finished 9 patch H quilt!

Looks like the beginnings of a cool looking quilt.

Very interesting. Let us know how this goes.

I love the creative name you have chosen.

WOW that will be a great looking quilt

That looks great....

I guess you could use any amount of patches that would make an H. Even though I did like the nine patch, I kinda liked the 11 patch better as the long H's appealed to me lol. Now that I have seen the orginal quilt by Daffy, I can see she used different fabric in each H that blended real nice. That took some work. I just have these scraps that I am using and what I try to do is contrast, light next to dark, while using the same fabric. I might do like Daffy did with some of the H's if I happen to spy a couple fabric that would work.

It is 12.24 pm here now and I am going to start on it again, I am listening to, A Game of Thrones, on my kindle while I sew. Hopefully I can get a bunch of area blocks done today. I will post the pics later.

Thanks for this beautiful quilt start. I was wondering what the "H" quilt looked like!

very cute!!!!!

At the time I made Hendrix Charm, a charm quilt was defined as one in which each fabric was used only once. It contains 411 fabrics, including those in the partial Hs at the edges. Some of the patches were from my Keepsake Quilting swatches.

I have begun a T quillow for our 18-year-old granddaughter. The only way I can figure out to make the Ts tessellate/interlock is to put half of them upside down. Come to think of it, some of those Hs could be upside down too. :D

Game of Thrones--wow, what a series. We have just begun Season 2 with our Netflix subscription. I'm going to have to read the books.

Have fun....looks way to complicated and intensive for me.

I like that just fine! Looks like it could be strip pieced with a bit of planning.

I like this - I have been making 1" hexies for a grandmother's flower garden and cutting the squares at 2.5, but I overdid the number of squares. Now I know what to do with them other than a 16 patch or 9 patch. Thanks for the idea.

Okay I love the look and see how you have placed them on design wall....how will you sew them? In rows? In blocks? Right off the design wall? This may be obvious to most but I'm just wondering, as in rows it would be easy to misplace them wouldn't it?

Oh I bet those T's will be another great quilt. I know you can do those any which way but I like the H's up and down, pic will follow.

I am on book 4 now and have seen season 3 episodes 7 and 8 so far....

I have sewed together a 49x49 piece so far. I will make it much better. I sewed all afternoon and also into the night but not steady, here and there, taking breaks to eat lol.

I found that if I did it the same way I did the cross quilt, it worked pretty good for me. I put as many patches on my board as it would hold, then took down eight patches across and six down and I call that a block, then I sewed all the blocks together down in rows and then I joined the rows together.

That's looking so good, Rosy!

You can misplace them here and there but it's always a good idea to study your sewing board before sewing the patches together and after. It's easy to see a misplaced patch and it can be fixed right away. I have misplaced two in all this sewing, so that's not bad and I caught it before sewing. You can also check my cross quilt as I have done that the same way and it worked for me.

Thanks Daffy, I just love it. I am working on it now to make it bigger. It is addictive lol. I even considered ripping off two sides of my cross quilt border, to make that bigger too.
