Next up -

 

 

Is "Basic Math"- 

 

I got the top sewn together in September 2018 - HERE - 

 

 

I pulled fabrics for the backing in January 2019 - HERE -  

And intended to quilt it in June 2019 - HERE - 

 

And practice with some quilting rulers - 

But that obviously didn't happen -

 

So here we are - August 2021 - 

 

I think it's about time - LOL - 

 

I already did the ditch quilting way back when - 

 

And stitched all around the perimeter - 

So there won't be any "flappy edges" - 

With the fused batting coming undone -

 

 

It's a 9 x 10 layout - 6" blocks - 

So about 54" x 60" -

 

With a variety of 4-patch blocks - 

"Two-bar" blocks - 

And plain squares - 

 

There are a BUNCH of practice areas - 

And it may take me a while - 

So I might go on a binding spree -

I have four to bind so far - 

 

Or I might play with another squirrel - 

Off and on - 

When I get bored with the Free-Motion quilting part - 

I found these photos from a few years back -

 

The 8 "holes" in each block will be filled with matching squares -

 

The "center" of the block has a "light background frame" -

That I think is kind of interesting - 

 

The only difference between the four variations - 

Are the corners - which way the HST are turned -

 

A - 

17105 -  

Corner darks are on the INSIDE -

 

B - 

17106 - 

Corner darks are on the OUTSIDE -

 

C-

17113 - 

Corner darks are pointing IN -

 

 D - 

17114 - 

Corner darks are pointing OUT -

The corners will make a secondary pattern - 

When the blocks are sewn side by side - 

So I'm leaning toward A or C -

Where the "lights" will make an on-point square when they meet -

 

But A and D show a better "light background frame" in the center - 

Because the innermost HST has the "light" on the inside - 

 

So maybe I like A the best -

It's the best of both worlds - LOL -  

What do you think? - 

Which one do you like the best? - 

And why? - LOL - ;))

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
