For two days, I have been cutting and piecing like a crazy woman…and I love it. I am making this quilt based on ideas from Freddy Moran and Gwen Marston. What I love about their books is they offer a Parts Department, where instructions for blocks are given. There are no specific patterns, just samples of gorgeous, inspirational quilts.
This is what I have after two days:
Day 1
(I just noticed an oopsie on the right strips. It’s a good thing they are not sewn yet.)
Day 2
All of the half-triangles are made. I have pieced the two strips on the right together. I hope to get the other three sides pieced and attached tomorrow.
Fabulous, really good stuff. You’ll laugh when you see my finish from a week ago. I used the same red triangles border. 🙂 And it looks great, too!
Thanks. I had so much trouble with placing those half triangles since I am directionally challenged. Looking forward to seeing yours.
Chela — this is fantastic! I makes me miss San Antonio — this is my homesick for Texas time of the year….
Thank you. It has been so much fun playing with color and making a quilt that reflects my culture. This is the pretty time of year…our Texas winter blooming into spring.
You’re blooming into spring.
Your fabrics are so rich and gorgeous! I love the the Madonna print.
Thanks, Abbie. I purchased the panel of four different Lady of Guadalupe at the Houston International Quilt Show.
I see some panels still available on Etsy. l love the rose fabric in the collection too.
I will check it out. Thanks.
What a striking piece. Love the colours
