It's hard to believe that it is week 8 of the Hex-a-thon. Where does the time go? Once again I did a little fussy cutting. I love the hexagon blue fabric around the dinosaur.
If you remember a while back I showed you a jelly roll and background fabric of brushed cotton. It was calling to me and I just had to take it home. This is what it became. A double pinwheel baby quilt.
Of course I used the Easy Angle Ruler for this one. I sewed a feature strip and a background strip together then used the Ruler to cut 8 units with the strips right side up, and then 8 units with the strips wrong sides up.
Pair up the Easy Angle units up as shown above and then sew your two squares together. I cut 2 1/2" squares from a feature strip for cornerstones and cut 2 1/2 x 8 1/2" background fabric pieces for the sashing. A 2 1/2" border of background fabric all around, and it's done.
I think this pattern would be great done with a Bali Pop. Oh if only there were more hours in a day.
I have those same blocks started but in different fabrics in one of my UFO bins. Since I have declared this the year of the UFO it will likely get done when I run across it again!
ReplyDeleteNow I've seen your finished quilt I want to dig mine out, but alas, I must finish things in the order I find them. :)
I was wondering when we might see that quilt. Looks good Linda.
