The fabric is 'Flats' by Angela Yosten and I have used a jelly roll. I've got some of the reds for the border... but still need to do some thinking first.
It is going together really well. I cut it all out and planned then sewed all the single rows in just over a day (less helping on the farm), with K helping me place out the pieces. But my quarter inch seam allowance must be a fraction out as now that I am on to sewing the rows together the crosses were not lining up quite perfectly.
I have fixed that as I have gone to pinning from the left. This enables me to leave the removal of pins to the very last moment - my quarter inch foot has a guide on the right side so the pins need to be out of the way by then. I think I'll have to re-do the first few rows as I plan to quilt it with simple lines later.
My magnetic pin holder is twenty years old but fantastic. I got it from Bernina when I purchased an overlocker.
I've pinned all the rows on to a piece of flannel and can therefore sneak a few rows in my schedule without worrying about them getting out of order.
Now trying to link up with 'WIP Wednesday' at 'Freshly Pieced'.
I have the book and the pattern looks challenging. I really like how your quilt is going. Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love the book and have plans to make some more from it. I visited your page and would love to leave a comment but I couldn't find the 'translate' tool. Sorry! You have done some beautiful work. :-)
DeleteLove these crosses!
ReplyDeleteI have Camille's book . . . I was just looking at that exact quilt in that book today, wondering when I'd have time to make it up. How's the pattern? Is it pretty to follow?
ReplyDeleteFlats is a great fabric line and I think it is a nice choice for the pattern. It makes me think of math and school....which is a good thing in my mind. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteI love plus quilts at the moment - yours is looking beautiful!
