Wow! Great one.

Farmer Girl 08-01-2010 01:26 AM

Wow! Just love your colors. I can see these used with just a very narrow sashing - just enough to set each block apart - think windowpanes. Keep going, can't wait to see the finish.

TNAngel 08-01-2010 01:54 AM

Beautiful....I cannot wait to see the finished quilt.

I think they are so cool, I love 'em! You may want to get some more blocks done and play with them before you decide on sashing or boarders.

I agree. Make a bunch more and play with their layout. It will look totally different when you have more to look at.

Thank you all for the encouragement. And when I get the rest made Ill post a picture. Thanks again. The blog keeps me going and make me feel like I have a lot of friends...

I love the colors, you are doing a great job on it.

littlehud 08-02-2010 08:31 AM

I wouldn't use sashing. I like them the way they are. Beautiful blocks.

Ditter43 08-02-2010 09:23 AM

What did you use for the foundation? How big is the block and how wide are the small stirps? The more I look at this the more I love it!

Quiltbaby 08-02-2010 12:49 PM

I love your block. Can you share the pattern information?

I did post everything on this message. It just white broadcloth, I used an 11 1/2 inch square template. My strips are 1".
here is the post:
This is how I found this pattern:
http://happythings.typepad.com/happy...tion_piec.html

The only thing I did was make all my strips 1", and I picked the colors and deceided to make the cornors big, so they would stand out more. And when you pic 4 squares together , in the middle it makes a pattern.
Sorry forgot to answers this question. I used my 11 1/2" square template for the foundation piece. And as far as the size it will be , Im justing adding another square until I get it the size I want. So it will be a queen size with probably a sash around and the binding or maybe just the binding , Ill have to wait and see how all the squares turn out. You could do the squares in any size, what ever you prefer.Oh and one more thing. When I cut the foundation peice, I then took my ruler an placed it in the left hand corner and went straight to the opposte corner (with a pencil),and my first piece I placed on the line and just kept going. When I got to the end of one side I turned it around and did the other side, I laid all strips out before I sewed so I could adjust the colors if need be and thats how I got the lines so straight. Sorry this is so lengthy I NEVER had anyone ask me how to do a pattern. New to explaining.

hobo2000 08-02-2010 05:32 PM

This is very cool and the colors are wow!

Thank you, you did a great job explaining. It is just so lovely and everything is straight and matching. I'm impressed.
