In keeping with the process pledge (badge on sidebar). I thought I'd post my progress on the Whimsy Snowball quilt. I have all of the blocks sewn, finally. I layed the blocks out in their rows. I was going to lay it out 10 blocks x 16 blocks, but I didn't care for it. I decided on a 12 block x 14 block layout. I labeled my rows and now they are ready to be sewn together. I'm still debating what fabric I want to use for borders. I want this to be bigger so I definitely want borders.
I have some yardage from the Whimsy line.
I have some dots also by Joanna Figueroa (Fig Tree & Co.) that blend well with the Whimsy. The other one is Moda Marbles. It matches nicely also. I'll update when I get to that!I think the ric rac fabric would make a nice binding though, cut on the bias.
FYI : the finished size of the block is 4 inches. I used 4 charm packs and 2 different 1/2 yards of fabric to get 168 blocks.
Who is this quilt going to be for? I love it already!! :)
ReplyDeletethis is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteohhhhhh, loving that! 4 charm packs...and all those bitty squares...you're rockin', girlfriend! That is going to be totally awesome! I have the same striped fabric...it's so obviously wanting to be a binding. Cannot wait to see this all done!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE whimsy. I'm doing Amanda Jean's new quilt along with whimsy. I do like the idea of the ric rac binding on the bias. Very cute!
