This lovely twin quilt was made following the instructions from
MSQ. The first step is making a pile of colored 16 patches.
Cutting them diagonally and then sewing the quarters
together yields an on-point style
block quickly and easily with out triangle corners or set ins.
Two of these were made up during a wild sewing
zoom retreat last winter. One each in blue and yellow.
The blue top was pinned and next in line for quilting.
Never following my own advice of "make it easy", I chose a
quilting design with lots of starts and stops.
My cutting button got a real workout!
Then long serpentine stitch on the sashing finished it up nicely.
A soft flannel back in blue strips makes this very cuddly.
I put in a 5 0z high loft batt, but experience has taught me that it will
collapse after half a dozen washings,
so I put in a 80/20 Hobbs to give it
structure after the poly compacts.
The variety of blue fabrics really make it fun
to browse!
A scrappy blue binding for the granny and it is complete
and ready for labeling when it gets called to be loved.
It may have found a permanent home in the blue wing chair!
Stay safe and sew on!
