With quilt #4, I opted for print fabric, instead of the solid fabrics suggested by the designer. Also the overall of the pattern didn't really caught my eyes and almost skipped the pattern all together. Another reason I wanted passed over this pattern, is it require alot of fabrics for one colour, but in the end I pulled what I had and make the best for it. Isn't what challenges are there for, the take us out of our comfort quilting and creative zone.
Steps 2: Two strips of 2 1/2" and one of 9" were sewn together then cut into strips.
Step 3: After that making blocks was easy.
Step 4: It's time to lay our my blocks.
Step 5: I used the same technique to align my shashing with a chalk marker. Even if I don't pinned, it easier when I sewed the two parts together by aligning those markers together.
A complete different outlook. Not my favorite quilt pattern and color, but I've keep do my challenge and I'm happy about it.
Now that SPRING is here and SUMMER around the corner, it will be harder for me to continue my challenges. Summer is soooo short. This is why I started my blog a few years ago, to keep sewing in and out of season. To bring new ideas, creativity, and challenges into my quilting world.
Hope you enjoy your spring walks as much as I do.
Homestead is designed by Cori Derkensen and Myra Harder. You can also found this pattern in the Quilty: Easy Modern Quilts 2016 magazine or purchase the pattern at Fon's and Porter.
