Settlers Trail
 

I saw this quilt in this thread.

So I stopped working on my lots of blocks project as I was dying to try this quilt. I had bunches of left over 2.5 squares for my the Cross and H quilts that I made recently.

I can't imagine the size squares used in that quilt, they must be 0.5 inch lol. Here are the blocks that make up the design and when sewed together are already 55x55.

I put it right over the current quilt I am working and must get back today as I have had my fix lol. It is a beautiful quilt and I had a fun time making it as it went so smoothly and was a nice break from the blocks on the board lol.

Since it is already 55x55. I will put a 3/4 inch border on it and then do some more smaller nine patch to go for the second border or maybe a piano key border, don't know yet

very nice, I love the scrappy look

I figured it out. The big nine patch measures 18x18. After I add the border I will make the second border out of the large nine patch and that will add 36 inches to the sides and top and bottom and that will be a nice size. This will have to wait, because I must get back to my current quilt. I just had to have a detour lol.

I always enjoy seeing what lovely ideas you come up with and I am always inspired.

I would love to spend a week in your sewing room. I am sure it would uncover all sorts of treasures.

Very nice. Great use of scraps.

Nice job. I saw the post the other day and thought, ANOTHER ONE ON THE BUCKET LIST. I like working with smaller pieces so it will take forever to get a full quilt.

Great work!!!!!!!

This is already 55x55 and it only took two days and not complete days.

nicely done... i like that pattern, too

Oh I like that a lot! Love the scrappy colors on the white. Really pops

Great stuff, way to go! I can appreciate a good detour like that.

Wow! I'm amazed at the volume and beauty of the work you have done in a short time! I understand your side trip to try another idea! I am always finding a new pattern or idea to distract me from my current job!
Thanks for showing us your great ideas!

One question.......I have a lot of muslin tone on tone (sort of antique design). How do you think this design would look with the muslin. I know it wouldn't be as bright, but I thought I might try. Any thoughts?

I like both of your patterns up on the board.

Very nice! I have a lot of nine patches that I was wondering what to do with and along came your post! Thanks for sharing!

On the original thread I asked how big the squares were, and the answer was 1/2 inch finished.

You've got some really great quilts going! Love, love, love scrappies!

I think it would look better. I used the white because that is what I have a supply of. You quilt will have a nice mellow look.

Love the layout, very inspiring!

That scrappy quilt is fabulous.

Oh my, so the squares were cut at 1 inch. I did detour to a Burgoyne Surrounded another time and made the one block and I had used 1.5 inch squares and that is lowest I will go lol.

Thank you, Rosyhf. Will have to get out my box of scrap squares!!

The other quilt is in this thread.

very nice!!!!!

Love both of these. I also bookmarked that quilt....

Both are beautiful. I really like your 'detour quilt top'. A real good use of scraps. It will make a gorgeous quilt.

wow love it

Awesome job!

That is a great start. Please post a photo of the final quilt. It is beautiful.

I like it. The other one would drive me nuts to work on very long at a time. lol

That's why I take detours lol

Absolutely love this!!!!!!!!

That is beautiful.

Make sure you post a picture when it is finished, it's going to be fabulous!

Nice quilt.

I love it!

what is the name of the other quilt on your desin wall?

Fell in love when I saw your Diamond accordian scrappy and now your scrappy "detour" has caught my attention. Sigh, this is how I end up with UFO's. Really enjoy your enthusiasim and your threads. Thanks for sharing!

I don't know lol....I saw it and decided to do it. I guess you can call it anything. I thought, Diamond Scrap?
