Here above is my old fashioned 12 x 12 '' BLOCK
4 squares with a cross between the squares.
The secret is to play with you fabrics and colour and most important VALUES ! while at the same time mixing and matching to make a sort of hit or miss type of old fashioned use what you have . . scrap quilt!
Quilting these days seems to be getting more and more complicated pattern wise . . .and idea wise . .
Not my kind of quilting . . . .I like the old traditional SIMPLE patterns . . .
but use interesting fabrics or colours !
HEre is a handy little CHART for knowing how many BLOCKS in sizes 12'' 15'' 16'' or 18'' you will need for what size of a bed . .
I have enough fabric to make about 100 quilts . . .as most fabric collectors have - right?!!!!
Then I have also a wool quilt on the go with the rug hooking fabric . . .
So many projects . . .
Going to sit out in the hammock for a while and just do nothin'
What a beautiful top you're making! I love the color choices, probably because I'm partial to the Autumnal tones. Very nice variety of fabrics and I will look forward to seeing more of this one as you progress along. I've quilted for more than 30 years and I have made more quilts that are Autumnal than anything else.
