Same thing, right?
I was reading someone's blog and I noticed she was doing Pat Sloan's Grandma's Kitchen sew along. Somehow I forgot Pat does a lot of sew alongs.
Because I'm a bit late to the party, I started with the newest one and I'm working my way backwards.
"Game Show & Soaps" finishes at 12 inches; "Loose Change" and "Pantry Goods" are both 10".
Just to get it moving I just chose black, white, red, and yellow for my color palette.
I coulda chosen another way to make that center block in the top one, eh? Lots of points coming together in that one!
I used the same fabric that's in the large block above, I like the way it looks in the churn dash.
A few spider webs for Halloween, even though I don't "do" Halloween!
This time I paid attention to the direction of that wavy striped fabric, it does make a difference - but at the same time it doesn't matter.
You know what I mean? Sew forth and sew on...
I love stripes, and am often torn between making them go the same way or just letting them fall wherever. I go back and forth, sometimes within the same quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices for Grandma's Kitchen. I've been saving the patterns, but haven't made a start. I really like the idea of using blocks of different sizes - it adds so much interest and movement to the quilt.
