McCall's June issue has a quilt made with 6 by 12 inch finished letter box blocks. I am adapting it a bit and using my wonderful light plaids and stripes.
It is interesting how it needs some of the more intense/darker/greyed fabrics to make it work. I have about 1/3rd of the blocks made.
Center cut 2" by 4 1/2", first round 1 1/2 by 4 1/2", 2 1/2 by 4 1/2", final round 1 1/2 by 8 1/2", 2 1/2 by 6 1/2".
Looks really good. I had some plaids out today...I forgot how much I like them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful as all your quilts are, I'm looking forward to seeing the whole thing done.
ReplyDeleteI am constantly amazed that our quilts start out so humbly, and simple, yet end up so spectacular. This is going to be spectacular! 8-)) Thanks for the idea - I have LOTS of plaids.
