First run over to
http://niftyquilts.blogspot.com/2012/02/vintage-fabric-swap-anyone.html and wish LeeAnn a Happy Birthday, (my gift will be in the mail tomorrow).
Check out the quilt she is planning to make. Wouldn't you know I have a ton of chisel die cuts from my Dear Jane fabrics. I just had to make one block and like potato chips I couldn't stop. I will need 81 blocks total to do a back for my on-going Dear Jane quilt. Do we want to take bets as to whether I scallop the edges- lol
|
Used the Chisel Die and the 3 "Triangle to sub cut the fabrics for Dear Jane, I had hopped I would do a braid for a future TO DO. Didn't even think about using these for a backing until I saw LeeAnn's TO DO. |
|
Sew sets of 4 triangles to chisels (Makes a larger triangle) |
|
Sew the 4 pieced triangles into a block |
|
Mine will be set into large 9 patches and then sewn as units into a 9-patch (9 x 9) for an 81 x 81(ish) back. This is four units together. This block would look good using a contrast fabric for the triangles (white?) and set with strips, the possibilities are endless! |
