The first round is to include a spool block.
I made mine 3.5 inches but changed the method to make the block.
First I auditioned a black and white fabric with pops of solid colors on the corners.
After making one block I tried the colors again.
I made my spool blocks by cutting 1.5 inch strips from the border fabric and the solids.
Then I used the stitch and flip method to make the corner triangles on the border strips.
Ta-Da! My spool blocks are flipping around the corners.
My extra fabric for the X blocks I'm making for another top was delivered.
Next post on that progress.
Happy sewing.
I am just getting started on my spool blocks. The pieces are certainly tiny when making a 3" block! But they look super. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks! So glad you stopped by.
DeleteHi Janice! I love those little pops of color in each of the four corners and the black/white print is fab. I cannot wait to see where this goes next! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see where we are going, too.
ReplyDeleteYour border and spools work really well! Will be fun to see this quilt grow!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't wait to see the next row.
DeleteClever method. Oh well, I needed practice with little squares. :-) I like the way your black/white and color are working with the center valentine.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have pulled lots of black/white fat quarters to keep the pattern going.
DeleteSo fun. Love your start!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and funky quilt your SAHRR is going to be!!
