Test blocks -
Blocks #1 and #2 -
For my Jiffy Jelly™ Quilt -
The FREE Pattern by Moda - HERE -
Each strip gives me enough pieces to make two blocks -
And I need to switch out the middles with those from another strip -
So I made a "design decision" - LOL - to cut them in pairs and make sets of 4 -
That way - I can keep the strips folded -
Cut what I need from two strips at a time -
And keep the sets together for sewing 4 blocks at a time -
I have 2 rolls of 20 fabrics each - so the first roll is paired up one way -
The second roll may or may not be paired up the same way -
I'll decide when I get that far -
By that time - I might want to switch it up a little - ;))
One tip though -
When you trim the selvage ends -
Make sure you get BOTH of them on that first cut - LOL -
Because you won't have enough strip left to cut another patch - ;))
I used this one as the center of Block #2 -
I figured that was where it would cause the least amount of trouble - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Adorable! I love the green and white against each other In these.
ReplyDeleteNice! I think these are going to make a lovely quilt top. Could you change out the centers as you are cutting and kitting it?
ReplyDeleteI hope I can kit mine up as neatly when I make one.
Great block and idea. Look forward to seeing more.
