“Gradations” is the 4th and final quilt in my half-rectangle triangle series, using Latifah Saafir’s Hurty Ruler. I am so happy with this quilt. It was so fun to make. The center sat on the design wall for some time until I saw the fabric I used in the outer border. Then, poof, I was off and running.
I used that fabric for the backing and binding–and cut it so that the strips ran sideways rather than up and down.
I made another block to go on stretched canvas. This block is from Tara Faughnan’s Blocks 2 class and was one of the choices for her Big Slice wedding ring block–which you can see further down in the quilt top I made.
These blocks are kind of hung “willy nilly” but they also work just fine in my sewing quilt room. They all make me smile. The middle piece is a quilt and is not on stretched canvas.
My 4-inch Cat’s Cradle ruler quilt top is coming along. I can see the end. I like making this block a lot, so there’s no pain involved here. Each block makes TWO blocks.
“Tunnels to Towers,” my donation quilt is off the longarm and has had its binding installed. This is the 8-inch version of the Cat’s Cradle block. It’s now downstairs getting its binding sewn down at night.
Next up on the longarm is “Big Slice.”
It’s kind of funny how lots of projects come together all at once. Funny and Fun.
Have a great week everyone!!!
