Man! I’ve been playing catch up on this quilt along, the Modern Sampler Quilt Along with Salty Oat!
You know I’m more of a bright color kinda quilter, so this one has been a challenge. But I like the low contrast with a pop of color! But this is a very challenging pattern and I got really frustrated doing these blocks! I think they came out quite nice despite the lack of instructions!
This is Block G. I didn’t do any measuring around the curves. And I like how they turned out. Not perfect, but I think they are pretty close to perfect.
And Block H. This turned out pretty nice. A LOT of practice with Y seams for one stinkin’ 12″ block! Has anyone else made this one? I’m curious how you made it. I considered doing it as an english paper pieced block, like I sew hexagons by hand. But then decided that would take way longer than I wanted to spend on this one….
And lastly, Block I. I’m actually in love with this one! It’s pretty near perfect! (If I do say so myself…) I took my friend Debbie’s advice and did the strips as paper pieced triangles. It worked! Nice and quick!
And look at those Y seam corners! Oh, yes!
Please ignore the horrible picture, but this is the quilt so far! I do like the quilt, but making it has had some frustrated moments!
Three more blocks down. Nine blocks done. Three to go!
This is beautiful. So subtle and effective. And those y seamed mitred corners look difficult but very effective.
They are a pain, actually. Once you get the hang of it, they work pretty easily. And they do look good! Thanks!
I adore what you’re doing with these blocks!! Having some regrets myself but OH WELL.
The challenge for me would be the low-volume prints…..no pop, except for that pink. I think this is looking great.
