Since I
last posted about my Double Delight quilt, I have been in a cycle of obtaining cream fabric, cutting said fabric, using said fabric, and realizing that I still needed more cream fabric. In addition to the cream fabric that I showed in the previous post, I added three different half yards of cream A Quilting Life prints (which all happen to have the EXACT shade of cream I needed).
Now it's time to do a dance -- a square dance, appropriately -- that my second set of square-in-a-square units are finished!
Of course it took a good chunk of my weekend evenings to trim these monsters, I mean, miniature artworks. So much pretty trash!
Like the previous set, I went ahead and sorted the units into four piles so I won't have to recount them later.
I also was able to finish my 9 patches as well. I exhausted the entire pile of pink scraps I had pulled initially, and piles of scraps beyond that! I used up just about all of the pink scraps on the pink-cream-pink units (bottom half of the below picture) and ended up using the last quarter yard of a pink print (
from my Meadow quilt) for the cream-pink-cream units (top half of the below picture).
Because I was excited about these, I just kept sewing and sewing on these this weekend. All of the chain piecing!
Piles waiting for pressing on Sunday afternoon:
Piles of nine patches ready to be sewn into blocks!
Now I have all of the units complete and my next step is to assemble the blocks. I'll need to make 30
Rolling Star blocks and
20 Double 9-patch blocks. I am going to try to pull something from my stash for the setting triangles and it should be about twin sized when finished.
Happy Wednesday! Sharing at
