Good Morning Quilters!
This week I made lots of square-within-a-square blocks. All of the smaller ones (2 inch square finished size) are now attached to the doll quilt, as shown below:
The doll quilt is now 20” by 28”. I don’t know yet how it will be quilted.
The larger border blocks (4 inch square finished size) are all made for the large quilt, and the top and bottom border blocks have been added to the quilt. There are 24 blocks made for each side strip that are soon to be added to the two sides.
80” by 96” will be the final size of the big quilt (in theory)….I will measure it when it is finished.
FYI: The paper-piecing method I used to make the border blocks requires cutting off little triangle corners. You know I couldn’t throw them away! Here is a picture of the cut off pieces, which will go into a future small quilt/doll quilt with lots of hsts.
October is really a beautiful month in Michigan. Here is a picture of the start of the color show from the Maples in our yard.
Both of your quilts are lovely, the little one is really cute! Enjoy piecing your HST's for another doll quilt, happy stitching! See you in 3 weeks!
