Hopefully there will be some information that is new to people. Nature is my inspiration and because of that, I reserve the right to publish lots and lots of pictures of animals, birds, butterflies and plants!Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01510120813220199735noreply@blogger.comBlogger1436125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916682346234515921.post-77663826991544855622024-03-08T18:19:00.004-05:002024-03-10T16:42:11.355-04:00Definitions and a Short Guide to What Works Best for Kaleidoscopic Quilt Blocks<p><u> <span style="font-family: helvetica;">Stack and Whack</span></u></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><u>T</u>his is a technique first introduced by Bethany Reynolds probably 25 years ago more or less. It is a short-cut method of creating kaleidoscopic blocks by cutting and stacking fabrics after you have determined what the repeat is by looking along the selvedge of the fabric. The key to a successful quilt block is choosing fabrics that match the variation of the technique that you are using and whether you want to make a bold statement or something more subtle and calming. Overall, the best fabrics have a repeat that is between 12 and 36 inches with a design that quite varied but with significant areas of color. The smaller the print, the smaller you will want to cut your squares or triangles to get the best effect. I generally cut my strips between 2 1/2 inches to 4 1/2 inches. I let the length of the repeat and the size of the elements be my guide. For instance, with a 12 inch repeat I would probably cut strips 2 3/4 for a smaller print (4 strips which would use 11 inches of the repeat). I do this as I want to make sure I get full strips and sometimes my ripped edges are a litle uneven. For a 24 inch repeat, I might make the strips 4 1/2 inches uilizing 22 1/2 in of the repeat. I would use a larger width strips when constructing hexagons or octagons as you lose width with he points. I very rarely use large strips for the 4 patch variation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhzGaa0kR8GYTxiJ-3StFwgyXqaaImUstmxsWIELjlgGGg9mTOI-t0eRlab2ZfzCsJw8BOjHDHyi-CwzdTJrwVfYad-ezjpWI3Lg7IbzaFBnUEBN0CvJDQv7pMfPZe08EcU_UiTGf1rdXweB3h9UM9cNfUn36Vn3iJRb0jjgFpVFX6iVO34PZ2zsJnJl_NF" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="898" data-original-width="679" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhzGaa0kR8GYTxiJ-3StFwgyXqaaImUstmxsWIELjlgGGg9mTOI-t0eRlab2ZfzCsJw8BOjHDHyi-CwzdTJrwVfYad-ezjpWI3Lg7IbzaFBnUEBN0CvJDQv7pMfPZe08EcU_UiTGf1rdXweB3h9UM9cNfUn36Vn3iJRb0jjgFpVFX6iVO34PZ2zsJnJl_NF=w483-h640" width="483" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One of my very early stack and whack quilts.

The most popular form,of this is using hexagons (6 - 60 degree triangles). and arranging them in a pleasant design using the predominant colors in the block to guide you. I have seen 4 patch variations. A newer version of this quilt uses panel fabric (you need 7 repeats) where you reserve one repeat for the middle of the quilt. I think that the most successful ones of this type have used a fabric that has significant areas of different colors and maybe a large print with quite a bit of background or large areas of color variations. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> .</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjXmNSXFwFeNJG4rWVjdpeCPyjjw1niafgxI_gQrknhzeaaPMS4t6a3VoTWvX9tutplwvNs1ZRY2cWdb-0WRM8MSlE1y4tyzUHdw5nhpj5ioxrgNoqXgdloQBJIwmVU-4eIRyNE3Cg52ToTpv9a1tqfYdqQ0nIH1g7UOwcwj-NyndVBUw8CXR5plELIz3ur" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2396" data-original-width="3450" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjXmNSXFwFeNJG4rWVjdpeCPyjjw1niafgxI_gQrknhzeaaPMS4t6a3VoTWvX9tutplwvNs1ZRY2cWdb-0WRM8MSlE1y4tyzUHdw5nhpj5ioxrgNoqXgdloQBJIwmVU-4eIRyNE3Cg52ToTpv9a1tqfYdqQ0nIH1g7UOwcwj-NyndVBUw8CXR5plELIz3ur" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This would be a good fabric for just about any variation but I chose to do a One Block Wonder,</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirCl5Ay8kLl8_YMVPrVv8dPrfXFd5UAiHkGRKcZBTH3qqATfwIH6MTNdfZ0Sx1XVF_wrEiQUwlQVLozU-8rtyY0Y4oGtoKhB27_75Bzk1j-LsppKLiouFq0aazzmTadET47tLVwiMxc_d3r1iaLcpANL63E_aBYexAu17lj3kBCB7BD15vwVzO5v04oMr3" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="683" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirCl5Ay8kLl8_YMVPrVv8dPrfXFd5UAiHkGRKcZBTH3qqATfwIH6MTNdfZ0Sx1XVF_wrEiQUwlQVLozU-8rtyY0Y4oGtoKhB27_75Bzk1j-LsppKLiouFq0aazzmTadET47tLVwiMxc_d3r1iaLcpANL63E_aBYexAu17lj3kBCB7BD15vwVzO5v04oMr3=w303-h400" width="303" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br />This was one iteration of trying out a setting.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgkWDkb4ZzPY5L0bia9iT1ZKHJyq_bOc3UCnrQF1pk6lgO3-PO4MoNNFQxoVbeCixWEqSReCQ3aH1_ZinCjdLMvi4y4723z17-fZCnZCUP3H6xbGyMcw1-IHw9D4WOzI4oNyLpxSCGvluiHLCy9jZkfFZes-M2rNLw54N7jVP4Viz5hcTGCynVAdLqy1sNl" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1326" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgkWDkb4ZzPY5L0bia9iT1ZKHJyq_bOc3UCnrQF1pk6lgO3-PO4MoNNFQxoVbeCixWEqSReCQ3aH1_ZinCjdLMvi4y4723z17-fZCnZCUP3H6xbGyMcw1-IHw9D4WOzI4oNyLpxSCGvluiHLCy9jZkfFZes-M2rNLw54N7jVP4Viz5hcTGCynVAdLqy1sNl=w531-h640" width="531" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This is an example of a one block wonder using a panel.

If I had the patience, I would have done some quilting in all those white spaces but didn't! I like the colors in this one better than the purple one even though I don't usually enjoy working on my blue quilts even though it is one of my favorite colors!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I only have to put borders and binding on the purple one and binding on this one as I am not doing borders. This one has 90 blocks and is smaller than the other one so I could actually get a halfway decent picture of it on my design walls. It is about 80 x 72. </span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi77axrcIzUsDyt8lluWSkzA23BrFk6vIy-yAm6ynP3N4-BniTfMJIGTLD3fsvzK67_psltQkh0mxyZli53Iry10kbooZU4BrrrHORzsnOKcV2NWtPqlNrXiJcpuJVEoygh3MVD5Bj0L9nCaRA68b8BBgr1sXDctrCMumyMrSIcqXahbkTmvr_xKjPG8c59/s3864/203%20fw.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3030" data-original-width="3864" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi77axrcIzUsDyt8lluWSkzA23BrFk6vIy-yAm6ynP3N4-BniTfMJIGTLD3fsvzK67_psltQkh0mxyZli53Iry10kbooZU4BrrrHORzsnOKcV2NWtPqlNrXiJcpuJVEoygh3MVD5Bj0L9nCaRA68b8BBgr1sXDctrCMumyMrSIcqXahbkTmvr_xKjPG8c59/w640-h502/203%20fw.JPG" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I have updated this piost to incude the almost finished purple quilt which now has borders on it.

Well, I finally managed to get them put together this summer and have been working the last two weeks on getting the three sections machine quilted which I finally got done this week. The quilt is currently about 110 x 90 in so pretty good sized. After putting the three sections together, I will add a small border of purple and then call it quits! This picture does not include all the blocks as I can't get far away from my too small design wall to get a complete shot!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfk9Zl_dPx-OUVCMc-gcq4e7_nBPtBLeUT-7_B29HmddLXNbC3ddxd1sVIKYRrn2Guw6o0VovBa1YR11jM-gfNK4QCgGezmULKUvXqiB-WJtd9PetSWc_GI8XexRAH-5R6NyPBj4pz5D6UusBHMI1eGCejAa4NRzwAt3CgMymkfdvBAw3Yh8bSflkmg1go/s4032/20231231_133151.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfk9Zl_dPx-OUVCMc-gcq4e7_nBPtBLeUT-7_B29HmddLXNbC3ddxd1sVIKYRrn2Guw6o0VovBa1YR11jM-gfNK4QCgGezmULKUvXqiB-WJtd9PetSWc_GI8XexRAH-5R6NyPBj4pz5D6UusBHMI1eGCejAa4NRzwAt3CgMymkfdvBAw3Yh8bSflkmg1go/w640-h480/20231231_133151.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This is a rather poor picture that shows it altogether but still doesn't show the whole quilt. I am in the process now of sewing the seams in the back down where the sections go together. This is so simple fete as this quilt is large and very heavy as I used cotton instead of my usual wool. The sad part is that I think this quilt is too big for out quilt club show or even to bring in for <br />"show and tell" down here! It will be about the right size for one of the three king sized beds that I have between here and Rochester!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Next to work on the 1930's Farmer's Wife quilt which has fewer blocks and only two sections but is still pretty good sized as there are 90 blocks in it!<br /> </span></p>Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01510120813220199735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916682346234515921.post-80133677364737288582023-12-20T12:02:00.000-05:002023-12-20T12:02:37.207-05:00Oh No. More Quilt as You Go!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiqVoYleFlKc9FmUhqtvTDchQ4aJkc6GBOTid6xIrU8GH1mSYJ97n7XxEIwoQioBs9-NdMZAzX40eDQ_KlWpHKZWNT1apch5npgNjMLIQLLLCrGX6aAFYJEjSTa2We01YEZAie0hwGGodXyOZks-2cpJVDxj7axD2wl8hUkiFmeaIIwchNd6uDiyXiSSJ7/s727/gail%20gift%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="727" data-original-width="686" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiqVoYleFlKc9FmUhqtvTDchQ4aJkc6GBOTid6xIrU8GH1mSYJ97n7XxEIwoQioBs9-NdMZAzX40eDQ_KlWpHKZWNT1apch5npgNjMLIQLLLCrGX6aAFYJEjSTa2We01YEZAie0hwGGodXyOZks-2cpJVDxj7axD2wl8hUkiFmeaIIwchNd6uDiyXiSSJ7/s320/gail%20gift%202.jpg" width="302" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Well, first I have to show you a piece of fabric I fell in love with and am pondering what to use it for! The repeat is 36 inches which is very large for fabric like this and I only have a piece that is 40 x 108. It was a gift from my sister, who, I might add, is a very bad influence on me! I visited her in Florida last week and the first day, she suggested we visit a local quilt shop that was in its last week of going out of business!! Everything was 75% off and even me, who has sworn off buying any more fabric, succumbed and bought a couple of smallish pieces of purple (my weakness) and a whole bolt of a green leafy grassy print. When it is less than $3/yd, who can resist? As it turned out, I bought as a backing for one of the two Farmer's Wife sampler quilts but it is perfect for both of them and there will only be a scrap left when I got it for them! </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm6WuXW1CCbF-H-plfYfhJBy1hu4j4JfgvyxccLLy8GjLLYfmJLWoAfwo0SutdutMGQzZc5VyRI6VrJh76V-Rq5AJJl7Ezq3rCHCZYtTl3fNT5Piclh6XLf0mcF0tasPvCs9bprVUPw3ZuuA9pgCgKFpGId-unKLIwdkjw5zw7oY9IJ8GJBpkrZ1cO6Br7/s3632/gail%20gift.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3632" data-original-width="2560" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm6WuXW1CCbF-H-plfYfhJBy1hu4j4JfgvyxccLLy8GjLLYfmJLWoAfwo0SutdutMGQzZc5VyRI6VrJh76V-Rq5AJJl7Ezq3rCHCZYtTl3fNT5Piclh6XLf0mcF0tasPvCs9bprVUPw3ZuuA9pgCgKFpGId-unKLIwdkjw5zw7oY9IJ8GJBpkrZ1cO6Br7/s320/gail%20gift.jpg" width="226" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Then I mentioned to my sister that I was getting low on purples and greens, so she dragged out two boxes of purples and let me have whatever I wanted!!

These are so fast to make!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I have proceeded to start putting together the Farmer's Wife quilts, starting with the "20s" version which is puples, greens, yellows and a smattering of blue. It is in 3 sections and I have spray basted 2 sections so far and will get the third done today and maybe get started on the 30's version which is mainly blues and greens. Of course both have beige/white components as well. Both will look great with the green fabric I bought and I am so glad to find a use for for the whole bolt so quickly. It assuages my guilt a little!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">After that, I am going to make a "Quilts of Valor" quilt. Our current Guild president gave a presentation in November on this program as I was very, very impressed with the care that goes into giving these quilts. I picked up some blue patriotic fat quarters that she had for working on them and have been searching for patterns that I like and have found 3 or 4 that I liked. It might be awhile as the machine quilting on the FW quilts won't be quick! Hopefully, they will turn out good enough that I can enter them into the Rochester club show in May.<br /><br /><br /></span> </p>Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01510120813220199735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916682346234515921.post-86460192175323019992023-12-03T15:52:00.000-05:002023-12-03T15:52:27.988-05:00Two More Finished!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJqSoOzPGefx3FN6nfIAy4583t8Kc290kuyEvj_jdmta50n5Xs8-yzcOWdzwIOwJeoz-y4Ofo0nNbWwRbZXk5XXElLHOzfDtEZR4CYZbaqoSpHNPAIMhuTwza8yrZKQIgund9R46uG4tNSKQEaEoZ80FASfQC1ekO7c_LESmMV4id8D60Av7WxMt63sTlj/s4329/topinished.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4329" data-original-width="2829" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJqSoOzPGefx3FN6nfIAy4583t8Kc290kuyEvj_jdmta50n5Xs8-yzcOWdzwIOwJeoz-y4Ofo0nNbWwRbZXk5XXElLHOzfDtEZR4CYZbaqoSpHNPAIMhuTwza8yrZKQIgund9R46uG4tNSKQEaEoZ80FASfQC1ekO7c_LESmMV4id8D60Av7WxMt63sTlj/w418-h640/topinished.jpg" width="418" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Everyone seems to want larger quilts these days for "comfort" quilts so I added this sashing to make it about 56 x 78. Now just to baste, machine quilt, add borders and bind. I have used hand dyed fabrics for all the solids as i don't ever buy solids anymore.

It had to be between 36 and 30 inches high and 24 to 30 inches wide.

Fisher. There is a historic breakwater separating the two at the tip of Ft. Fisher. I took a picture overlooking the breakwater and a striking sunset several years ago. (There were a lot of fires west of that year and really colored the sunsets.)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The piece had to feature the Cape Fear River and that is the middle blue piece on the other side of the breakwater.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I took some liberties with the photo in constructing this quilt! It now sits at a comfortable 36 inches by 29 inches. I am in the processing of sewing the facing and the triangles I have to put in the corner of the back for hanging at the exhibit. I am hoping it is not too much too different from the rest of the pieces. I seem to be very different in my approaches with a lot more color (like my camellias that I did for the last show).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The exhibit will be at the Burgwin-Wright house in Wilmington between Feb. 23 and Mar 17 in 2024.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvJcY9oiz9Wje7tJz4P1OIiybYEPUBe-Wc-9GmWf410vuuHPyNMERqUIYnkfdLR2SFM5twakZqnwSXjOiygFe-01oIPW1pW-oOUnVYCMEosreKfXYMg62A5vaQFRTiAUYUnHYBiqPTbuSGB0ub2UDVkPaApcrtMMb16-7Svkk2XZJODSdJ2kQdDg4pvLqZ/s1264/bluebird%20best.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1264" data-original-width="855" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvJcY9oiz9Wje7tJz4P1OIiybYEPUBe-Wc-9GmWf410vuuHPyNMERqUIYnkfdLR2SFM5twakZqnwSXjOiygFe-01oIPW1pW-oOUnVYCMEosreKfXYMg62A5vaQFRTiAUYUnHYBiqPTbuSGB0ub2UDVkPaApcrtMMb16-7Svkk2XZJODSdJ2kQdDg4pvLqZ/s320/bluebird%20best.jpg" width="216" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I happened down to Carolina Beach Lake one very cloudy day last week but was rewarded with quite a few birds -- some that I hadn't seen for awhile.

The theme of the challenge is the Cape Fear River. I frequently photo sunset scenes down at Ft. Fisher so decided that is what I would use for the challenge. I like the ones I take through the trees the best but wasn't up to tackling the trees so decided to go with a picture taken at sunset looking out from the very end of Ft. Fisher. The view shows the historic breakwater that was built in the mid 1800s and it separates the Cape Fear River from the ocean. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This was the beginning of the sunset.

We were supposed to have David Walker as our speaker but at the last minute, he got sick and had to cancel. Our wonderful volunteers moved up our November program with little notice and we had a really fun time and I got to meet some new (to me) people which was great. This is the beginning of our jellyfish. We used Jacquard fabric scupting medium and draped our circles over baloons we blew up!

Here I am testing what I will use for sashing. I also tried red and green but think I will probably go with the black.

I will be incorporating more yeillow and red and will try to find some more blue somewhere.

I have used this software since buying EQ1 directly from the designers in Houston in the early 90s! It has gotten more and more sophisticated over the years! This is totally out of 2 1/2 in strips but could use miscellaneous size strips as well. I think it is wise to be consistent with the middle strip though to kind of bring it together which is why the above quilt has been so challenging -- no unifying element which I think is important in scrap quilts.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49MgnqVVRjGVGBNI0owrIFXWG4oaEw0b4xgB_fzmsb9w0o5k5RK0wYGBPyosbX-T__XkOqbyZklXuPsiXAj1P4UikT8JDwMOePiYS34OskaH8BpD5H_lk_CYrjh1yp5lzWhzb3ELZX6DOffSkey-x3A38yTT3SWlhi0nDpyyG1hWrETq-HwnglNAlWWwW/s6262/square%20inside.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6262" data-original-width="4200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49MgnqVVRjGVGBNI0owrIFXWG4oaEw0b4xgB_fzmsb9w0o5k5RK0wYGBPyosbX-T__XkOqbyZklXuPsiXAj1P4UikT8JDwMOePiYS34OskaH8BpD5H_lk_CYrjh1yp5lzWhzb3ELZX6DOffSkey-x3A38yTT3SWlhi0nDpyyG1hWrETq-HwnglNAlWWwW/w269-h400/square%20inside.JPG" width="269" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I was trying to find some ways to use all those 5 inch squares I have and decided on this one -- again 10 inch squares like the above.

I had found the last one I did to not be too much fun but thought I would try again. I had a large bag filled with scraps of batting that were too narrow to even sew together for a larger quilt so took it all and cut it into 10 in squares. I really utilized it as if I didn't have 10 inches, I pieced batting together to make it 10 x 10. I chose 10 x 10 as that was the size of those random 10 in squares I had cut out as referenced in my last blog! I had about a 6 inch high pile of them! The strips were the leftovers from cutting those 5 and 10 in squares. They include hand dyes as well as failed marbling fabrics where there was not enough to really do anything with. They were all different size strips and the ends were chunks from another bag of small pieces. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here it is done and measures 40 x 60. I had originally intended as a baby quilt but it didn't feel babyish enough for me. Of course, it will be donated to one of the charity groups in which I participate. </span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSYBO45rMxiTUsB9Woj3SBkiC9rx0IoLdfY_S-A01F58aTb0KrNi_KuoSEwGBtSEm8TncG_lDjNf6wIEblo2U8koFGnaqK1na20L_AB3xAUw3cE0T_8MFqyAzVjfDSauyX4hiGzgHxFnzoZdDRAsjoUF6_BZlDLWrO1usDcNHS1b22UD8Pmv3ICQaPnw8/s1600/qaygvacjdibe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1050" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSYBO45rMxiTUsB9Woj3SBkiC9rx0IoLdfY_S-A01F58aTb0KrNi_KuoSEwGBtSEm8TncG_lDjNf6wIEblo2U8koFGnaqK1na20L_AB3xAUw3cE0T_8MFqyAzVjfDSauyX4hiGzgHxFnzoZdDRAsjoUF6_BZlDLWrO1usDcNHS1b22UD8Pmv3ICQaPnw8/w420-h640/qaygvacjdibe.jpg" width="420" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">And here is the back! There was no way I could keep the front and back organized the way I wanted at the same time so there are a few blocks I would move around on the back if I had been able to figure out a way to do it!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I must say this second time went a lot more smoothly than the first and it is probably because I learned some things doing the first like making the back sashing strips 1 5/8 inches wide instead of the one inch wide in the front. I also stitched that second block to the first with the sashing side on top which seems obvious but don't think I realized it before. There were a few "gotchas" but went pretty smoothly. I think the whole quilt only took a week of my afternoon 2 hour sewing sessions.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEFWmIoXQBgFaQFpoiZK2EykO6pYz-zn5vKfZsZZoJjfN6VLqSt8d905c0DmRk3JBd9lOMB3jF4W_CjHLMetj4inaWsmpqeuAePhg1coicqXuKKBfYmEjo-UkWYnehWPMHHEW55E48MFEkdCKqMhT4CZrJ98nxiVykVqc4zoO2MFNkfLLY9FG9HMg-R_q9/s1600/2%20in%20scraps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="902" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEFWmIoXQBgFaQFpoiZK2EykO6pYz-zn5vKfZsZZoJjfN6VLqSt8d905c0DmRk3JBd9lOMB3jF4W_CjHLMetj4inaWsmpqeuAePhg1coicqXuKKBfYmEjo-UkWYnehWPMHHEW55E48MFEkdCKqMhT4CZrJ98nxiVykVqc4zoO2MFNkfLLY9FG9HMg-R_q9/w400-h225/2%20in%20scraps.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I discovered that I had a lot more scrappy 2 inch strips in bags on my sewing table which is pretty much a mess at this point!

I decided on 5 in squares and 10 in squares. If the pattern was really pretty and largish, I would make 10 in squares and then cut 5 inch squares from the remainder. Occasionally I had enough for some 2 1/2 or 2 inch strips. I rarely threw out anything more than 3/4 in wide but filled a waste paper basket!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv1qEwfMxxl1TBBad7XX5Yy3LtLL-ivBpz6qm21gaW7DwDouzjxVfYIuZsw08Df5GfssNVfEbPUCDe0mjX4Ovk8T5AJcJmFzpH1uRtb66-Ukk7fIIQxahj7xBhM7f8vf405raRDSJX_UBBctyE8nMmhdlQs11-1paCVR58-hQonUz_Un8DgWW3t5YTsB9n/s1600/charm%20squares.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1402" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv1qEwfMxxl1TBBad7XX5Yy3LtLL-ivBpz6qm21gaW7DwDouzjxVfYIuZsw08Df5GfssNVfEbPUCDe0mjX4Ovk8T5AJcJmFzpH1uRtb66-Ukk7fIIQxahj7xBhM7f8vf405raRDSJX_UBBctyE8nMmhdlQs11-1paCVR58-hQonUz_Un8DgWW3t5YTsB9n/w350-h400/charm%20squares.jpg" width="350" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This is a 12 inch by about 18 inch plastic box which contains all the 5 in squares which are standing up so you can easily see everything. I noticed there really weren't any greens, blues or yellows to speak of. I use a lot of these colors and must have most of them down south or in larger yardage. This was mostly cut from fat quarters or quarter yard pieces. Lots of hand dyes and a few marbled pieces that were not good enough to keep whole.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh86bwphKZuN3Zq3xaSEXpHF9K38jZIpHfR9pS9sEHN9-BjAdRYmAxBTj30HHYfaro_lO40Bmo-VBbqFT4DjBZziJ11Nn-AHlnfz4WxAp1m4dE7RzvIQtR3JCZURWdIgbWgU2Dkty4ubL1QuDuf0UITi9gZKFJ9OOAYb98QELGUHamNkXggq72baWIRLd4L/s1600/dyed%20piece%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="927" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh86bwphKZuN3Zq3xaSEXpHF9K38jZIpHfR9pS9sEHN9-BjAdRYmAxBTj30HHYfaro_lO40Bmo-VBbqFT4DjBZziJ11Nn-AHlnfz4WxAp1m4dE7RzvIQtR3JCZURWdIgbWgU2Dkty4ubL1QuDuf0UITi9gZKFJ9OOAYb98QELGUHamNkXggq72baWIRLd4L/w370-h640/dyed%20piece%201.jpg" width="370" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">While going through the miscelaneous boxes, pulling out the small pieces, I came across several (what I thought) were really nice pieces of hand dyed fabrics from a long time ago.

This 4 patch posie was created from one of the fabrics from the previous two quilts. I wasn't crazy about the fabric and I had enough to do this one. I have been gathering fabrics to border each one of the blocks in a variety of colors. I may need to take this one to the beach to finish as I have a larger selection of hand dyes down there. I am relatively pleased but still trying to decide whether i will do one in a another colorway that I had. I finally discovered the quilt in which I had used many of those brown Kaffe fabrics -- it was an art quilt I did many years ago and which is hanging on one of my walls!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1HWIZgndf3RJUp0U41gQDLfC6JZ64MCIXKMK61Pt_YA4LCi2C3HfoTfvMllqZQG7ISTXIL8O72QdCNofpsI81zRA2S5z7kr4n23ZOp3edhNip0IAR_52lKguQEURActKxQtoWgCH0HWHALvgQ81JhbWy87A3ZzZWgODrwTuGWxRz370ITgkrrmMkCKTs/s1600/b%20and%20w%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1078" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1HWIZgndf3RJUp0U41gQDLfC6JZ64MCIXKMK61Pt_YA4LCi2C3HfoTfvMllqZQG7ISTXIL8O72QdCNofpsI81zRA2S5z7kr4n23ZOp3edhNip0IAR_52lKguQEURActKxQtoWgCH0HWHALvgQ81JhbWy87A3ZzZWgODrwTuGWxRz370ITgkrrmMkCKTs/w432-h640/b%20and%20w%201.jpg" width="432" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I then delved into some of the black and whites I had up here -- again not as great a collection as down south.

I started with the leftover Kaffe fabric. Any fabric that read as a solid substitute, I cut into 2 1/2 in strips to be used as borders or binding. I always do these in groups of six. In doing this, I found this fabric which I didn't like well enough to cut into large pieces. However, I did like the colors and I had enough for six repeats so I decided to do a stack and whack. It was time to do a little sewing again!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIab9qcXc4BcURfz-BVjapqziuldYyIRrYQgyWFXMacFFm9VXM1C0snVFYLVHdnPGMnpyMhYga6urAZBhzqr_RbdLe07WQCCr9RXsQGuM00Kbyd9KEt812nPGCH7mr3r8wT72njtHK5uN8oPcCcd1CQnrrcduE5PH4Ux2tahNjMz-WnwHv6cvVocBgN520/s1600/lue%20s%20and%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1167" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIab9qcXc4BcURfz-BVjapqziuldYyIRrYQgyWFXMacFFm9VXM1C0snVFYLVHdnPGMnpyMhYga6urAZBhzqr_RbdLe07WQCCr9RXsQGuM00Kbyd9KEt812nPGCH7mr3r8wT72njtHK5uN8oPcCcd1CQnrrcduE5PH4Ux2tahNjMz-WnwHv6cvVocBgN520/w466-h640/lue%20s%20and%202.jpg" width="466" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">So I ended up with the makings of 55 hexagons and started putting them up on the wall. I think there are 35 here and this isn't the final configuration as I want to move some around. The hexies are still in two 3 triangle pieces. I decided to do this one as a "one-block wonder" rather than inserting any triangles as I do like the colors and there is enough variation so you can group colorings in hopefully a pleasing manner! I have enough of the fabric leftover for an outer border for sure. There will be a white inner border as well as probably a thin green one.

I had two different colorways of this fabric and this was my least favorite so I decided to see how it would look as a "posie" stack and whack. It had a 12 inch repeat so each square was 2 3/4 in maximizing the repeat which after trimming was only 11 1/2 inches. I ended up with 54 squares which will finish to 4 1/2 inches each.</span></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggPQqAg5Cf0zAiXIlmGwEjoRiNzi-p5QolFFXqdVuZGShWfyHo66VUgs9XzW0slxlYW_FSf3RZvA8NCbJkGU7hXVTqQ640tZeTrfYmuHNldAUctmbYw68wnz52EHTz3qhyqFdZ9S4suh7wMvWnb8mKetGNC6B1is8StRtcmHVT4MXb-4lO69-z-UUljg/s1600/kaffe%20stack%20ad%20whack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1369" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggPQqAg5Cf0zAiXIlmGwEjoRiNzi-p5QolFFXqdVuZGShWfyHo66VUgs9XzW0slxlYW_FSf3RZvA8NCbJkGU7hXVTqQ640tZeTrfYmuHNldAUctmbYw68wnz52EHTz3qhyqFdZ9S4suh7wMvWnb8mKetGNC6B1is8StRtcmHVT4MXb-4lO69-z-UUljg/w548-h640/kaffe%20stack%20ad%20whack.jpg" width="548" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here are the first 37 completed. They are pretty tame and I am not yet sure whether I want to cut up the other fabric but probably will as thre is enough variety. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">My technique is to rip the fabric into its sections and then to sit in bed watching tv and pin along all four sides to insure I get perfect repeats. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The next day I cut all the packets of squares and then sit in bed the next night auditioning the positioning as you can make so many with these 4 patches! I put a pin in the corner which means that is where the center will be. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I then carefully place them on piece of batting so that I can accurately pick up the pieces. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I will most likely frame each of these squares with a variety of matching colors - greys, tans, browns and golds. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span> <p></p>Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01510120813220199735noreply@blogger.com0
