I have the LaPetite project done for November. This month I was only able to submit a completed top but not a quilted wallhanging. By the time the pattern arrived in mid-November, there was a ton on my plate!!
Because I wasn’t thrilled with the pattern, I chucked my original plan of fabrics I had purchased on my Madison trip in September. Instead I raided my charm stash.
At quilt guild, I’m in the charm square exchange. Each month we bring a pair of 5″ squares per person in our group following the color for the month. This is my collection. I think I’ve been in the exchange for 3 years.
To make choosing easier, I kept with the basic colors of the pattern and chose these charm squares from my stash.
I made the inner churn dash blocks first. Mostly to get the red over with! 🙂 I then redid how I’d do the other blocks as I’d rather make half-square triangles with 2 1/2″ blocks and trim them up after sewing. So my red ones are sort of wonky….
Not too bad with the center done. Looks tolerable in the picture! 🙂
I have the top done to submit to the group. I’ll work at quilting it after this week passes. 😉
I think shopping for a binding will be interesting! I like it now. 🙂
Love it with the border! You have such a talent 🙂
Well, I happen to like it. A very interesting way of setting it but I really like the way the border radiates! Be happy! How in the world do you accomplish one a month and more besides? You amaze me. I wish you lived closer so I could learn from you.
I like the colour combos and seeing it develop was neat. Did I send you the link to the mug hugs? A cute Christmas present that is beyond my skill set but well within yours 🙂
It’s beautiful!!!
Another great project! And I like your new picture border on your blog. (Maybe it’s not so new; haven’t checked for a few weeks.) Good overview of your life!
