The kit came in this week and I started with the #1 block, a gigantic 36" block. Then I decided to go ahead and make the other two blocks in that section. Those are each 18". The quilt is 84 x 96, but it sure seems like it's going to be a lot bigger if this section is any indication!
One of the reasons I am so enjoying making these blocks is the piecing. When I first started quilting (13 years ago this month!) I don't think all of the quick piece techniques were out there for QSTs, HSTs and flying geese. You cut triangles and stitched them together. This feels like I'm back to basics! So much fun!
I know, I know, I should be cleaning out my closet, but it's Labor Day and I'd rather be at the Bernina!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I'm going to have to live/stitch vicariously through you with this quilt - at least until Christmas. Maybe. ;-)

Great blocks!! Oh this one has tempted me too! I like the colors and the larger blocks. Have a happy day!
Great start! Awesome blocks!
So glad to see you're having a little fun in the midst of the packing! Enjoy!❤️
Beautiful! Are you trying to get all your loose fabric made up into quilt tops before you move? You are on such a roll.
So pretty. I have mine at home, but am reluctant to cut into it fearing that I'll do it wrong and end up not having enough fabric for all the blocks. Any cutting strategy suggestions?
OH MY! I saw this quilt at market too and knew I HAD to have it! We just got kits in our shop and I am headed down tomorrow to get one! :)
