First, I slowly gathered the fabric for this quilt. (every time I went by Hobby Lobby, I'd stop in and get either a fq bundle or jelly roll of this fabric collection with my 40% off coupon or I'd snag a yard of Kona white)
Second, I slowly cut fabric for it. The "pictures" or inside material are 6inch squares and the "frames" or outside material is 2.5 inch strips. I thought that was a good balance in dimensions and it makes the jelly rolls a dream to manage. hardly any cutting necessary.
Third, I slowly started assembling the blocks. As you can see below, I've only finished 31 blocks and I'm no where near half way finished. In fact, I could probably make two decent sized lap quilts with all the fabric.
I started sewing this in the summer and since my main machine broke (currently in the shop getting fixed) in October, I haven't done anything but admire the fabric. But the machine should be finished within the week and back to work soon.
There's still two kinds of fabric I haven't even used yet. I really love the bright vibrancy of this bundle. Mainly, the bold orange and pale blue combo.
When all the blocks are completed, I'll decide how big I want the quilt to be and if there is enough for two. I'll sew the blocks directly together and, as of right now, I have no plans for sashing or bordering. or what the backing will be, for that matter!
