The final task from the Tetris Quilt-a-long from Happy Quilting is to assemble the blocks and then quilt.
Mine is all assembled. I tried to put it together so the final result would be a legitimate Tetris (i.e. no blanks where the block above could have fallen into) but it was hard to do. There is at least on spot where I messed up. I am going borderless and will likely use a black binding. Now, to quilt this. It measures 24 by 36" since I used 2 1/2" squares. Should I outline each block - perhaps in a black or perhaps in a color to match the block. Not sure I have orange or purple thread but likely have blue, green and yellow. I think outlining the blocks would be fine and then maybe something in the 4 block squares? I open to any ideas here! Happy Stitching!
My sister is a very big Lucy fan so for her upcoming significant birthday, I am making her a quilt. Quilting Treasures has Lucy's Chocolate Factory fabric so it seemed perfect. Given the colors are a bit 'loud', I went for bigger blocks - 16 inch stars using this fabric. This photo is reasonably true to color.
Five large starts, eight smaller stars surrounded by candy geese. The quilt is roughly 64 inches square.
Another angle - you can see my DD sillhouette behind this version.
Lucy is at the LAQ this month (aka the quilt spa.) My sister's birthday is in December so I'm feeling right on schedule. Happy Stitching!
I took the plunge - with a little bit of help from a blogland friend - and made my first block for Barbara Brackman's Grandmother's Choice - Votes for Women Block of the Week. Surprise, surprise, block one is Grandmother's Choice!
I am going to be using selected prints from Moda Vintage Modern. Perhaps not appropriate for the time period but the fabric is gorgeous! I choose to make this first block from the aqua solid and prints.
