Next project started is this Omigosh! quilt designed by Susan H Garman. I'm using all fabrics from my stash so I rummaged around and found some fun things.
This roll of Jelly Bean Batiks by Laundry Basket Quilts is from 2014 and the 5 yards of white may be older than that! Good thing fabric doesn't have a shelf life!!
One inch strips sewn together to make tiny 4 patch squares.
This is just some of the plethora of units I needed to make the 4 patches.
These baskets contain pieces to make the tiny 9 patches.
I made loads of these tiny 9 patches while on vacation. These finish at 1 1/2"!
I made some into the double 9 patch blocks to see what it would look like.
To finish the 4 patch blocks there must be extra white all around it. I figured out a way to cut the excess "wing tips" off BEFORE sewing it to the 4 patch.
The reason for that is so I could easily chain piece the units.
This is a sneak peek of what my finished blocks will look like. These blocks are 4 1/2" finished.
These are the 4 patch units for the Shoo Fly blocks. ALL of these need to be trimmed to 2" square. I've got plenty left to do but my goal is to finish this quilt by early November.
this is so beautiful--and SO SMALL--wow--I like the jewel tones against the white a lot...hugs, Julierose
