    Default Release the Hounds (tooth)

    I finished this top tonight and boy it made my eyes cross! The diagonal squares were tube pieced and cut on the 45 degree bias. I did the quilt math as I was falling asleep one night. My method was sound, my math was not, (oops!) so I ended up cutting a lot more squares than I originally intended. The overall top is 48"x72" (4'x6') with 4" squares. Thankfully I overbought fabric. I'm pleased with how this came out but I don't know that I'll do it again soon. There was a lot of ease in these seams for the points to match up. No worries about God squares, there are plenty! Thanks for looking!

    Beautiful!! A real eye-catching design. From a pattern, or your own?

    Thanks, I saw a finished one somewhere (pinterest maybe?) and did the pattern on my own, which is where my math gave me fits.

    Beautiful! And I can see why it made your eyes cross. But you managed to keep everything in order.

    as i look at it more, i think the pattern would make a great border on another type of quilt, too.

    Eye Catching and looks super, love it in red & white! I always think houndstooth as black/white or dark blue/white. I love patterns that appear to be tessellating designs (is that redundant? :-) )
    Thanks for sharing
