Where It Started, Where We Are
Posted by Gerri Robinson on
I'm back with the results of our latest version of the No Cut No Trim Block-in-a- Block quilt we named Simply Brilliant!
Not quite sure what I'm talking about? Check out this blog post here to catch up.
Now that you're all caught up, let me bring you up to speed on what happened since that last blog post.
I mailed ALL my Block-in-a-Block blocks (PLUS several coordinating Floret fabrics) to my long armer, Penny Barnes, and gave her FULL creative liberty to lay the blocks out in any fashion she felt best worked for the overall design.
with all the small patches facing the center to make a 4-Patch; making a total of 6. Penny sewed the (6) 4-Patch blocks together 2 across x 3 down for the pieced center of the quilt. Do you see it?
From several of the remaining Block-in-a-Block blocks, she sewed 2 together as shown along the perimeter of the quilt.
and used the coordinating Floret prints along with a single Block-in-a-Block for the 4 corners. Were you able to follow all that?
Simply Brilliant don't you think?!
