I go from tomato/orange red to berry/cherry red. If a single block stands out I add more of that color or closely related to help it step into the others. There will always be a darkest block, an orangest block, a rustiest block. I am fine with that. It makes it a more interesting quilt for me.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">In talking with a friend about how we both make odd choices, I said, <br /><i><span style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve-breaks;">"I call those my "a little bit too much" or "a bridge too far" blocks.

If I have my red fabrics out I like to be efficient in my time and fabric use, so having plans for cutting makes sense.<br />I used Kona Snow for the white in all these.<br /><br />For the above samples, I am cutting<br />L upper (Single rail fence): 3 1/2 by 5 inche rectangles (will need setting triangles down the road) (white 2 by 5 inches)<br />R upper (Patience corner): 3 1/2 inch squares (white 3 1/2 by 1 1/2 and 4 1/2 by 1 1/2)<br />R center (Lower-case alphabet) 2 inch squares (white lengths of 2 inch strips)<br />R lower (Framed square) 3 1/2 inch squares, 5 1/2 inch squares, setting trinagles overcut from 5 inch strips, corner triangles from 5 1/2 inch strips (white 3 1/2 by 1 1/2 and 5 1/2 by 1 1/2)<br />L lower (Ladder): 4 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch rectangles (white 4 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches)<br /><br />In addition from the red I cut 2 1/2 inch squares and 2 1/2 inch half-square triangles for projects down the road. This cleans up scraps from cutting the setting and corner triangles for on-point quilts.<br />I cut lots of 2 inch squares as I have a double 4-patch in mind. <br /><br />I cut off of short cuts or fat quarters. If the yardage is larger than a fat-quarter I tear off a 11 inch piece to cut from. (Why 11 inches? My ruler is 12 inches.)<br /><br />I cut up small scraps to 1 1/2 by 2 1/2 rectangles and 1 1/2 inch squares so no little scraps go back into my red fabric bins.<br /><br />SO, my cutting sessions are:<br />Squares<br />5 1/2, 3 1/2, 2 1/2, 2. 1 1/2<br />Rectangles<br />3 1/2 by 5, 2 1/2 by 4 1/2, 1 1/2 by 2 1/2<br />Triangles<br />over-cut triangles for setting and corner triangles, 2 1/2 inch using easy-angle<br /><br />Ready for ideas in the future:<br />Red patches cut to size in their own bins.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0MJqo_YD6vHokyjWtqBqZb9Cg3BRAACjYrnE6SFcGTy5RzeKxcH7pD6Q8PeDVihwBRLTbGmmOAZBC5W1-iX8sgGw8SgEGMKcJtqxB-m_yjltQf_r7ehxI6tXVCZnDZqyQDaM0QsJRluqvFanf-iLrj3VE_7w7diMaOk1iDaoPnZT-SwSA-ub2" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0MJqo_YD6vHokyjWtqBqZb9Cg3BRAACjYrnE6SFcGTy5RzeKxcH7pD6Q8PeDVihwBRLTbGmmOAZBC5W1-iX8sgGw8SgEGMKcJtqxB-m_yjltQf_r7ehxI6tXVCZnDZqyQDaM0QsJRluqvFanf-iLrj3VE_7w7diMaOk1iDaoPnZT-SwSA-ub2=w400-h400" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><p></p>Lynn Dykstrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16689293134690945439noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15152634.post-52605198243764236802024-01-21T13:35:00.002-06:002024-01-21T22:15:13.510-06:00ocean waves, top completed<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwx_Q0Agvbdyv6xsQehZT6cgtKX6u5IArIkGLU_kbM0XqiwT6mHSjmMExJ7H4YYf6zDStF2f2JGxIVP0X9a08z3L9L8Lswu-FSCsWvqzj53AFxOry2UMuM1Gctx7cr2OCeQWKzCa4MTyAqBcRA4RigKk-90CgdENcM4GZtFi78jTcK_IP9mPo5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwx_Q0Agvbdyv6xsQehZT6cgtKX6u5IArIkGLU_kbM0XqiwT6mHSjmMExJ7H4YYf6zDStF2f2JGxIVP0X9a08z3L9L8Lswu-FSCsWvqzj53AFxOry2UMuM1Gctx7cr2OCeQWKzCa4MTyAqBcRA4RigKk-90CgdENcM4GZtFi78jTcK_IP9mPo5=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEji6ZmKfc9AyXQvAzWtv70rWfRJCSdJrntJd2_p--ndt2ApqLVpkj_UklOSh2_A6ylNi1mQaqk5vwFVKrAfyAWsZWgvudov75LR5rSZ1brWtCux6n4uRSS58BLeksl--uQv78CN2KPFSUcKHLp8P_oi8gd4ehZwwi7oNKa2v3ey1O_-NnTV2bka" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEji6ZmKfc9AyXQvAzWtv70rWfRJCSdJrntJd2_p--ndt2ApqLVpkj_UklOSh2_A6ylNi1mQaqk5vwFVKrAfyAWsZWgvudov75LR5rSZ1brWtCux6n4uRSS58BLeksl--uQv78CN2KPFSUcKHLp8P_oi8gd4ehZwwi7oNKa2v3ey1O_-NnTV2bka=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Ocean Waves<br />Top completed 2024<br />96 by 80 inches<br />120 blocks<br />Block finishes 10 inches<br />Block and unit directions are <a href="https://kleinmeisjequilts.blogspot.com/2023/08/ocean-waves-block-construction.html">HERE</a>.<br /><br />I layed out the 4-block units, alternating A and B units.<br />Sewed into A over B and B over A sets of 8, then into 3 rows.<br />Almost everything nests.<br /><br />My construction design variation of a traditional pattern.

I was inspired by Warhol's Marilyn x 100 that hangs in the Cleveland Museum of Art.<br />I used a slightly altered Fat Quarters Shop's Sewcialities block 33 by Lori Holt.<br />Made with solid fabrics, mainly Kona and Moda. Border is Kona Glacier.<br />It was a fun block to sew. The 64 was for me being 64 when I pieced it.<br /><br />A new building has gone up a block to the west and I am having trouble picking the right time/cloud cover for quilt photography.

I find them taxing to make in the over-thinking I do in how they will look from a distance and close up, symbolism, how to personalize them, how to make them meaningful. It takes a lot out of me!<br /><br />This spring when Rev. Nickerson joined our pastoral staff, the church asked me to make one as a gift from the congregation and, though overwhelmingly busy with work, stepped in as I had some ideas.<br /><br />Ordinary time is a special time in the liturgical calendar as there is nothing special going on! That appeals to me. How precious ordinary time is.<br /><br />The color for ordinary time is green. Liz said she favors green on the blue/green side of it and I found a lovely duckegg colored silk from Mood. It is a shot silk. so from different angles it looks dull green to vivid turquoise. <br />Because she focuses on family ministry, I liked the idea of duckegg as the children tend to follow her like baby ducks.<br />I asked for verses/imagery to think of and she mentioned loving verses of eagles on wing and of solid rock foundations.<br /><br />The piece is quilted with 4 rows of thread making a trinity of channels that look like thermals that eagles glide upon. The lining is a lovely striped linen that reminds me of the limestone wall of St Pauls in the chancel. <br /><br />See what I mean that these take a lot out of me? A joy, but, a lot.<br /></p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">My time was limited to work on this by Installation Sunday, so I put out word to church friends who are good with a needle to meet me in the balcony with their thimbles to help with the handwork of the binding. We sewed through the second hymn of the service to get it finished in time for the installation after the sermon. Sneaked it up the side aisle.</span></h4><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg5Fn2cWlnrEla76f09qdsWWOHqRIYymloKSjbkCHNo1lwTekRwvcE-pSYZV_mjSb4JyoCIQkzk4a8_9PQzAPj8xZ60zOoFndjyRgc5N-DCDdY7dty_iz7xQEQaaQRNSr5YFBaEoNbuW4uB27JyWPXkdTWc11aBZVwYnH3w7PGt0ellp4qzWw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg5Fn2cWlnrEla76f09qdsWWOHqRIYymloKSjbkCHNo1lwTekRwvcE-pSYZV_mjSb4JyoCIQkzk4a8_9PQzAPj8xZ60zOoFndjyRgc5N-DCDdY7dty_iz7xQEQaaQRNSr5YFBaEoNbuW4uB27JyWPXkdTWc11aBZVwYnH3w7PGt0ellp4qzWw=w400-h300" width="400" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhHGKNMHoG2hTpeLthuxEdkZNqyQ9QDqeByf_qmTbOq1ayfcLksuwx5_9kIqNkBiDJsBPzy4O-paaNJL4ytudZ-B07Qbgvjn0ZJo_lQgb3-xZPeGZzEoZjzTKplwhCxgOvZoEo-HwCZMuRNz0pz0F_vBZ3lzbLt52rSQ_lxIoXWVMs-iKiP8A" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhHGKNMHoG2hTpeLthuxEdkZNqyQ9QDqeByf_qmTbOq1ayfcLksuwx5_9kIqNkBiDJsBPzy4O-paaNJL4ytudZ-B07Qbgvjn0ZJo_lQgb3-xZPeGZzEoZjzTKplwhCxgOvZoEo-HwCZMuRNz0pz0F_vBZ3lzbLt52rSQ_lxIoXWVMs-iKiP8A=w400-h300" width="400" /></a><br />Members of the congregation signed lining at the reception and I like the idea of them embracing with love.

After several sessions cutting them down, my 2 1/2 inch squares darks and brights bins (two) were topped off and that is my trigger to make a plan to use lots of them.<p></p><p>I keep these size bins active:<br />2 1/2 inch squares, 2 inch squares, 2 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch rectangles, 1 1/2 inch squares<br />-Lights/neutrals<br />-Darks/brights<br />-30's repros<br />-Solids<br />I keep the pieces stacked. This helps me look along the edges for colors I am looking for. Also keeps the pieces from getting wrinkled. Each bin is a quilt ready to happen.<br /><br />This time I went with a chain of squares in the midst of the darks/brights. I again chose Kona Ice Frappe (SKU# K001-1173). It stands out well in the chaos..</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhA84bKJJdboI3SVQhoUHlgsfeL2XqqkE6p4InT91_WRq88sxBFY_L4GQfa5kyCv0yYMQ3ZvpRFz0peSmgLFtuRMeuljFXCGsF00nDW2kMxhrfGtcWXXRLpulOkeWc7iPIx3ux_q8-tjYGPtsy4pAd2uSHWCS_JIzolFR6R12neVatU3r_SYsTA" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhA84bKJJdboI3SVQhoUHlgsfeL2XqqkE6p4InT91_WRq88sxBFY_L4GQfa5kyCv0yYMQ3ZvpRFz0peSmgLFtuRMeuljFXCGsF00nDW2kMxhrfGtcWXXRLpulOkeWc7iPIx3ux_q8-tjYGPtsy4pAd2uSHWCS_JIzolFR6R12neVatU3r_SYsTA=w238-h317" width="238" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bins before this quilt</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhiRu7IUJyx3nCN7g6_CYnp6EcqdkWLHXqDWiuPSlneSrPzcmmUNPEt8hBykZ0M06CyB0Pk74IsPbUBaH8nIptvsln3IEfcKrRBA7itBjMyldMc-qhK4F86_FJHwR9XGV9LzR9QkIFErA5UC8V36VfD0aZFxb6ORVsflmXul5viOU_AY8lndoRe" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhiRu7IUJyx3nCN7g6_CYnp6EcqdkWLHXqDWiuPSlneSrPzcmmUNPEt8hBykZ0M06CyB0Pk74IsPbUBaH8nIptvsln3IEfcKrRBA7itBjMyldMc-qhK4F86_FJHwR9XGV9LzR9QkIFErA5UC8V36VfD0aZFxb6ORVsflmXul5viOU_AY8lndoRe" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bins after this quilt!<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p>16-patches are my go-to for both efficiency and creativity.

And I like rectangle blocks. This is a design I came up with that made me think of the burs of the seed heads of burdock.<br /><br /><a href="https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/invasives/photos/index.asp?mode=detail&spec=43">Burdock</a> is an invasive species here in the midwest and a difficult weed.<br />We loved playing with the seed heads as children and used them to sculpt animals. My mother told the story of her friend Gert who, when they were children, sculpted a hat with them and proceeded to see if it fit. Gert had to have her hair cut very short to remove the burs.<br />I remember that once the burs got into a sock, they were there to stay but we had to continue to wear those painful socks as they were not worn out.<br /><br />Cutting<br />Solid: five 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch rectangles which will be cut further later<br />Print: two 2 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch rectangles; ten 2 1/2 inch squares which will be cut further later<br /><br />Using <a href="https://antlerquiltdesign.com/collections/notions/products/mini-simple-folded-corners-ruler">Doug Leko's Mini Simple folded corners ruler</a>, use the print squares and the solid rectangles to make the burs.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzNEx1O0ugKm7Yweqf6tp-qUZxbpYyNX3mx3mo_pRxHG7_Id0jbdrI6YqqeiO-KlpuNpU_ejrg4qulUJknp7jrqPF9bl18N9zCDi20jURxBM6NhcTeBwtlU4-A8mHH73ghz6-EG_MH99fBzh9O9jG6M40--zRjlDBDpV9R7AOp-Lh9gLJETIB/s2786/IMG_8886.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2382" data-original-width="2786" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzNEx1O0ugKm7Yweqf6tp-qUZxbpYyNX3mx3mo_pRxHG7_Id0jbdrI6YqqeiO-KlpuNpU_ejrg4qulUJknp7jrqPF9bl18N9zCDi20jURxBM6NhcTeBwtlU4-A8mHH73ghz6-EG_MH99fBzh9O9jG6M40--zRjlDBDpV9R7AOp-Lh9gLJETIB/s320/IMG_8886.HEIC" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First bur placed using Doug's ruler </td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvDH35KG-w22fKcvohZv7-dr9rEcyBiZ7fTZ6OMR3UYfB5kLGYSWxRacJre9Emx5qdpQLnlwX7eMRTbr1EC3G8L2wVm78HyjDnDV-OYydsflX5-i9OSBUsWIPE0dMBMqG_G1a9jMe_DMJ8YI6xoPQwB9tig0rLB3V_FvL6gjp5hNpy0-yW3qOO/s2862/IMG_8887.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2241" data-original-width="2862" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvDH35KG-w22fKcvohZv7-dr9rEcyBiZ7fTZ6OMR3UYfB5kLGYSWxRacJre9Emx5qdpQLnlwX7eMRTbr1EC3G8L2wVm78HyjDnDV-OYydsflX5-i9OSBUsWIPE0dMBMqG_G1a9jMe_DMJ8YI6xoPQwB9tig0rLB3V_FvL6gjp5hNpy0-yW3qOO/s320/IMG_8887.HEIC" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Second bur placed using Doug's ruler</td></tr></tbody></table><div>Press to the print<br />Sew the five burs together<br />*NOTE: I found I have to take a scant 1/4 inch seam in putting the burs together. I measure when they are in pairs to make sure they are 4 1/2 inches, then in 4s to measure 8 1/2 inches, then when adding the fifth, 10 1/2 inches. This extra step takes time but saves frustration with the thread ripper later.<br /><br />Press all burs in one direction. I chose to have my seams all go south.

The ground was purchased for another project and was not what I expected. It worked well for this quilt.)<br /><br />I pretty much stuck to Alyce's letters with a few alterations and construction changes.<br />I did re-scale letters from a 2 inch (2 1/2 inch cut) grid to a 1 1/2 inches (2 inch cut) grid. I also changed construction techniques on some of the letters. I resorted to my nemesis of paper piecing (freezer) for the X and the Y.<br />You can read about how I scaled down Alyce's pattern and how I framed the blocks <a href="https://kleinmeisjequilts.blogspot.com/2023/02/purple-alphabet-in-progress-using-alyce.html">here</a>.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpkd9P7-EuvfEyJnyran27EUQXeTIzKtWafq9adEGTVTL5BJIbleFz9Xr7UnVrgt7Q9Od1g3cpS5HlIajlasH22ROOAxxxLuDj9MV2uWJtG9loS8ffiH7f3NEW3JOQov4A9knrHZduPBtMqXaweYFUEnEuNOXbSvBIltzMBMx2c1NbGaU_Iw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpkd9P7-EuvfEyJnyran27EUQXeTIzKtWafq9adEGTVTL5BJIbleFz9Xr7UnVrgt7Q9Od1g3cpS5HlIajlasH22ROOAxxxLuDj9MV2uWJtG9loS8ffiH7f3NEW3JOQov4A9knrHZduPBtMqXaweYFUEnEuNOXbSvBIltzMBMx2c1NbGaU_Iw=w400-h400" width="400" /></a><br />With this alteration, my letters measure 4 1/2 by 6 inches, finish 7 1/2 by 9 with the background, and my framed blocks finish 9 1/2 by 11 inches.<br /><br />20 Vertical sashings are cut 2 by 11 1/2 inches.<br />Three horizontal sashings are cut 2 by 54 inches<br />One horizontal sashing is cut 2 by 43 inches (goes under ABCD)<br />One horizontal sashing is cut 2 by 21 inches (goes above YZ)<br />Top left corner is cut 13 by 11 1/2 inches (goes left of A after horizontal sashing is on)<br />Bottom right corner is cut 13 by 33 inches (goes right of Z after horizontal sashing is on<br /><br />At this point, the vertical length of the top measures 73 1/2 inches plus seam allowances of 1/2 inches, so 74 inches<br />The horizontal width of the top measures 53 1/2 inches plus seam allowances of 1/2 inches, so 54 inches (*61 once side borders are attached)<br /><br />I cut 4 inch borders<br />Cutting:<br />74 inches for sides<br />61 inches for top and bottom<br />I will bind with the light.<br /><br />With borders, top measures 81 by 61 inches<br />I try to take careful notes as I sew, but be aware I may make mistakes in my measures.<br /><br />Again, letters were designed by <a href="https://www.blossomheartquilts.com/easy-as-abc-qal/">Alyce Blyth</a>.

Feels like summer. It is more beautiful in person than it photographs.<br />The fabrics are mine plus from an exchange with my small group. We laughed and said many of our low volume fabrics were not using their inside voices.<br />Some of my mom's scraps made it in here too from her 1960s sewing.<br /><br />Use my modifications of Allison's great pattern at your pleasure.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I decided to use the idea for another red and white quilt and had fun using lots of reds, most of my own but also some from friends. Also some shopping happened. I have made 5 red and white quilts in the last year and there is a net gain of red fabrics in my house.<br /><br />Remember, 3 reds clash. 100 reds are fabulous.<br />The white is Kona Snow.<br /><br />I wanted the patchwork to have the same orientation of blocks in each corner, requiring an odd number of rows and columns. The lay-out is a bit complicated to describe, but is simple in execution. <br /><br />Block finishes 5 inches<br />13 blocks across<br />17 rows<br />Borders finish 5 inches<br /><br />Cutting<br />Red: three 1 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch rectangles<br />White: two 1 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch rectangles<br /><i>(for 221 blocks, 442 white rectangles. I cut the white into 5 1/2 inch strips then subcut into the rectangles.)<br /></i><br />Pressing<br />Press away from white to red<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj25JXKaUmchPLplSpzW0xnNM2H8RjWDiSfS8aUg2UgIiS8uukQvymXpIw5v7b_aILQzh6JTVTp4ysYCRcrlS8f_p21K6jjfPPVWjvm5a8lzKMdGNCL-6MGkk_rB4s0btJJxVww4OpeqrS07evGzsKp3bQdfY8YhCgeC2sXeDlQOo_MbH_GAw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj25JXKaUmchPLplSpzW0xnNM2H8RjWDiSfS8aUg2UgIiS8uukQvymXpIw5v7b_aILQzh6JTVTp4ysYCRcrlS8f_p21K6jjfPPVWjvm5a8lzKMdGNCL-6MGkk_rB4s0btJJxVww4OpeqrS07evGzsKp3bQdfY8YhCgeC2sXeDlQOo_MbH_GAw=w320-h320" width="320" /></a><br />Make 221 blocks. <br />*Set aside 13 blocks<br />Orient blocks alternating horizontal and vertical seams<br />Sew blocks into 104 pairs then 52 fours<br />Press towards the blocks with horizontal seams<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1KCVOL4Hyq1BzQvuzqbdzPv2qsma7Cuxtam1EAl_fJWHpSl1oA2wcPTLMuCnmGwd5Geo_iVa55xeINloKEjyJ_jyXVvl-qCbckBR2wgszvLYoonMWzdm2Ux6_ScEyR3-oIJZ9dGV2ODam17HyfMvPetHhszYS8cvUUcpiZhK-7ZS7EzZRXg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1KCVOL4Hyq1BzQvuzqbdzPv2qsma7Cuxtam1EAl_fJWHpSl1oA2wcPTLMuCnmGwd5Geo_iVa55xeINloKEjyJ_jyXVvl-qCbckBR2wgszvLYoonMWzdm2Ux6_ScEyR3-oIJZ9dGV2ODam17HyfMvPetHhszYS8cvUUcpiZhK-7ZS7EzZRXg=w320-h320" width="320" /></a><br />*Set aside 16 of the 4-block units<br />Sew the remaining 36 into 18 8-block units<br />Take two 4-block units and rotate one, sew together, seams will nest<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg3Xzm9oYoKZOEElxnwWY6T-X351jOGw0xuRClboAN5S0Q5srSA4kXpOFnaxKZmmw8sbLRPh20scVX_5ovWCHG6ywrgzeBGLSrYhrQNl71667KLiKYgymSxyDKcgOooYtzTPz0_8dJycs8OD39Jh6CqObkXLcIbiKWwAaLRXdaPrSnWcPD_5w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg3Xzm9oYoKZOEElxnwWY6T-X351jOGw0xuRClboAN5S0Q5srSA4kXpOFnaxKZmmw8sbLRPh20scVX_5ovWCHG6ywrgzeBGLSrYhrQNl71667KLiKYgymSxyDKcgOooYtzTPz0_8dJycs8OD39Jh6CqObkXLcIbiKWwAaLRXdaPrSnWcPD_5w=w320-h320" width="320" /></a></div>Sew these into 3 rows of six 8-block units.

This allows the border seams to nest into the block seams. AND, I don't have to pin!<br />By varying the length, they look more random than if they were all cut the same length. <br />When my borders are wider or narrower than the block size, there is a bit of figuring for the top and bottom borders, but it is pretty simple math.<br />I also like to have the corners wrap around so I make sure I use fabric I have plenty of for corners.<br />This scrap border method allows places to celebrate fabulous prints that are cut up in the patchwork.

I drafted it and worked on it thinking it might make a dent in my 1 1/2 inch solid squares. It used them up! So I paused this quilt and made the sewing machine quilt to generate more solid squares. <br /><br />It is difficult to photograph this quilt. The closer up pictures are nearer to true color.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEixr8OfZ-XXK2XyZu92ZiWHKOw1kDPWs_yuP-MC86pHzZfj3i29At4_t0Lv1qhQ6VI6LriFaFmNS8au48dBTwsOsmgwHtLYqa-Jxqmo-ny6KtOtp8CDF3A-5cWuGn9UWJpPE4rZV7X4HcxH0to6XUmJJUUyx2M6zhPHX8rZOrEYEigDNvVRMw" style="margin-left: 1em;

I use purple in my quilts, but decided to make it the focus of this alphabet.<br /><br />Alyce Blyth has a free quilt-along on her blog Blossom Heart Quilts from 2013, <i>Easy as ABC.</i><br /><a href="https://www.blossomheartquilts.com/category/qals/easy-as-abc/">https://www.blossomheartquilts.com/easy-as-abc-qal/</a><p></p><p>It has delightful chunky modern looking letters for which I used eggplant-range purple batiks on a subtle horizontal washed greyed lavender ground.<br />I pretty much stuck to her letters with a few alterations and construction changes.<br />I did re-scale letters from a 2 inch (2 1/2 inch cut) grid to a 1 1/2 inches (2 inch cut) grid.<br />I kept the frames cut at her 1 1/2 inches.<br /><br />With this variation, my letters finish 4 1/2 by 6 inches, finish 7 1/2 by 9 with the background, and my final framed blocks finish 9 1/2 by 11 inches.<br />The background frames are cut 2 by 6 1/2 inches for sides and 2 by 8" for the top and bottom.<br />The purple frames are cut 1 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches for the sides and 1 1/2 by 10 for the top and bottom.<br /><br /><br />This little chart helped me stay on track<br /><br />1 square<span> <span> </span></span>1 1/2" finished<span> <span> </span></span>2" cut<br />2 squares<span> <span> </span>3" finished<span> </span><span> <span> </span>3 1/2" cut<br />3 squares<span> <span> </span>4 1/2" finished<span> <span> </span>5" cut<br />4 squares<span> <span> </span>6" finished<span> </span><span> </span><span> <span> </span>6 1/2" cut<br /><br />Examples--something 1 by 3 squares was cut 2 by 5"; 2 by 2 was cut 3 1/2 square<br /><br />I am struggling a bit with the X and may have to resort to paper piecing--a technique I greatly dislike. There is a right brain/left brain thing with it that makes me unhappy to work with it.<br /><br />BUT, what a great pattern!
