So I'm asking my bee-mates to make basic half-square triangles, quarter-square triangles including some mix-and-match ones, and even some half-square plus quarter-square triangles.
I found Emily Dennis' How to Sew a Perfect Quarter-Square Triangle on Craftsy a really nice tutorial for all of these, with a formula for block-sizes, and just a good resource overall. I'm asking for 4 - 8.5" unfinished blocks, which is a loose equivalent of two - 12.5" blocks. I simplified by cutting 9.75" squares of fabric, so I could intermix them and make a variety of blocks. Below are my fabric choices - Kona Parrot, Breakers, and White, along with a couple of coordinating prints.
Making a note to myself that a 6x7 block layout will call for 42 blocks. I already made 6, and with each of my mates making 4, we'll make a 48" x 56" quilt. Perfect for do.Good Stitches.
great colors! (hahaha are there any others?)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing how all the blocks mix up into a design.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link's. Great information that I can use for a future project.
ReplyDeleteI like this triangle mix, and I may use it for my next Auntie Grace quilt top. Love your fabric & colors. Thanks for the link to the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a great top!
ReplyDeleteGreat plan, I can't wait to see the blocks you get back from your bee mates.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the blocks. I do love the colors you are using. Now those are modern yet kinda retro.
