Since my darling hubby, light of my life, is hanging out with our precious munchkin, I got to quilt today! I created my inspiration block for my H2H charity quilt. Munchkin decided she liked it better than what she picked out and wants it for her :o) I may go back and get more fabric ... she does have a birthday coming up!
I made a disappearing nine patch, and if I calculate it correctly, the blue and green will stair-step across the quilt. At least that is the effect I am going for. I was trying to have the hearts all go the same direction, but that didn't work. I am going to try and continue with what I have going on, then they will form a diagonal pattern as well. Maybe I should have taken pictures as I sewed to make sure I hit it ... oh well, too late now :o) The back will be the solid purple tie-died flannel with the hot pink binding.
This is the first thing that I have made that I have to keep an eye out for matching corners. Kind of proud of myself, most of them are pretty darn close.
I cut my fabric using a rotary cutter and ruler, but I think I am going to try and use my Silhouette Cameo. It is supposed to be able to cut fabric, and I can have it cut my 5.5" squares for me ... they will be much more true than the ones I did.
Thanks for visiting!
