This afternoon, I spent some time piecing the blocks for the Tannenbaum quilt. I was able to complete the 15 red and green square blocks for the center of the tree. I also completed the 12 white, red, and green blocks for the sides of the tree.
The next step is to make 14 background blocks. I realized that I need to make two more tubes of the background fabric to have enough to make the 14 blocks. I laid some of the blocks together in order to get a preview. So far, I have not run across any major hurdles along the way. The tutorial by Donna Jordan certainly has been helpful. I did have a couple of rip and redo, but that is par for the course.
Shop is closed for the weekend. I will be celebrating my granddaughter’s birthday.
Such industry!
Do you enjoy this method? I haven’t made anything using tubes.
I am. I’ve looked up other quilts made with this method and there are lots of possibilities. I’ve been playing with blocks in different patterns just to see what happens. I think a strip cube quilt with different colors and textures with white or black background would be stunning.
