I seriously got cracking with this quilt. The pattern is called Garden Trellis and is a free pattern on Lauren and Jessi Jung's website. I am using Bonnie and Camille's Ruby... charm packs and fat quarters. I have tweaked the pattern a tiny bit. I am using 5" squares instead of 4.5" squares and I never like to waste fabric so rather than making all the blocks squares and then cutting them down to triangles, I made all the setting triangles with just 2 of the 5" squares. I just cannot seem to bring myself to make all those blocks and then cut them away to make the quilt square. After taking this picture, I moved squares around to balance out the red.
It is coming together nice and quick. The pattern is straightforward and simple which is a good thing since I am battling a whopper of a head cold. Blech! I have been infected by all those little germ gremlins at school!
And I was thinking that this would be a great pattern for a vintage sheet quilt!!! Totally would be perfect!!!
Linking up with Judy's Design Wall Monday... I am off to find more Kleenex!
Your quilt looks great so far. Hope you get over your cold quickly.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you why waist 1/2" if you can figure out a better way. I'm officially obsessed by red and aqua right now so your quilt looks fabulous to me!
ReplyDeleteThat should be 'waste' sorry :(
ReplyDeleteAnd hope you get over your cold soon.
Very pretty! Bonnie and Camille continually come up with such gorgeous color combos. Hope the germs move on quickly.
