Here is what is on my design wall-at least for a few more days. I had some free time and decided to bring out my featherweight for some mindless sewing.
These began as string strips.
Next I let my 12" Accuquilt cube companion set do the cutting of this shape. After I get a bunch I will add triangles to the two corners. No rhyme or reason as to the strips I use, it's grab and sew.
When I tired of that I finished up this little quilt. It's about 40" square. I used the kite shape from 12" Accuquilt cube. The blocks were all pieced in December and assembled recently.
I was happy to find just the right size and color fabric for the backing. This makes donation quilt # three finished for this year.
Monday Linky Parties:
Your Accuquilt products make such neat shapes, love that you started with strings. The kite quilt is beautiful - love the backing!
ReplyDeleteYour first quilt block is very familiar to me!!! Looks great as scrappy, Vicki!!! Your second quilt is familiar to me, too! Nice you could use your die to cut it. Perfect backing, too!
ReplyDeleteYour Kite quilt turned out beautifully! You've got a good start on those scrap blocks. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and your featherweight had a fun time. Those are some cute blocks. I like the kite quilt too. It will make a great donation.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable quilt. I have never used the Kite shape, I might have to try that.
ReplyDeleteI like those string blocks, Vicki! They make a great design and shape. Pretty finish, too! You are on a roll!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great scrap buster project you have going. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeletegood way to use up scraps
ReplyDeleteA grab and sew project is so much fun. Love seeing it come together. The other little quilt is fun, too. Being able to die cut the fabric always brings a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteYour string project will be really pretty! Sometimes the mindless sewing of string units is just what we need, and yet they become something unique and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHum, it helps that you have a 12" -- I could do it with the 9" but it would take way more pieces. But both are great ideas! It's good to see you using your cube. I tend to use it a lot and then not at all for a while. I'm kitting up quilt tops for some retreats over the next 6 months. Each retreat is a week and I'll need 4 to 5 projects -- especially if the projects are sewing blocks together.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to just sew blocks without thinking about them sometimes, Vicki! Love the second quilt you finished too.
