Once again, colours I would not have thought to put together. My hivemates certainly keep expanding my horizons! I really like the "minty feel" of the pate green and grey.
I used the "Magic 8" method for making the HST units. I had never done it before. As I am a trim-it-down kinda girl, I used 7" squares to start with. This is the pile of trimmings after making all 32 units.
Liz asked that we press our seams open. I had a hard time getting my intersections to line up, and I had a lot of bottom seam allowances flip over, so... there may have been a wee bit of cursing and a whole lot of unsewing going on in my basement today. It all worked out, though. Yay!
I hope you'll share a picture of Anne & Kristen's quilt once it's complete.

Hi Kathy--I love your block, but I'm sorry it gave you such a hard time. My intersections don't always line up either!
ReplyDeleteI love that you used polka dots! Someone once told me that polka dots bring good luck, so now I try to put them in every quilt I make!
I can't wait to get your block and add it to my collection!
