The shop was Needle & Thread. I liked it a lot!! Not only was the woman working very friendly, they had some of the cutest patterns!! But I was good. And didn't buy fabric.
These are some finished projects that I saw and want to somehow reproduce myself!
Those are NOT pictures printed on fabric, there are little corners to hold the pictures in there!! I would LOVE to make some of those! Hello Christmas presents!
While at one shop I saw a very neat nine patch with Halloween fabrics, and I realized that I have Halloween blocks and I could make something similar to that. And then I got home, and realized that I could use the Halloween fabric to make the X-blocks!
Now I cut my fabric into 3 1/4" squares, now this could also be done with strips. But I had bought some little pieces of fabric at a shop 9"x14", so I wouldn't have been able to get much of a strip!
I was going to use a purple Hallowen fabrics for the inside square, and then I realized I had a solid purple I could use!! Thanks Kathy!!
Then you put the template on the nine patch and match the lines. I was using the solid lines.
And this is what your finished block looks like!
You do end up with some left overs, but I think you'll see them again ;)
I only made 4 blocks. I didn't run out of my off white, but I am going to need to get some more, and I didn't want the new to all be with new, so I couldn't make many more tonight.
Now what to do with my first Halloween quilt?!
I hope you all have an awesome Sunday!
Even before you said it, I thought, "I see a pinwheel coming!" I really like this! You're making pinwheels with NO half square triangles..WooHoooooo! :)) Hope you're having a good Sunday, and I wish I was close enough to shop hop with ya. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't mind HSTs!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I should tell you about the way my friend Heather told me.
You take two squares. Sew around all four sides. Then cut an x. voila! 4 HSTs!
Maybe I will have to make a trip out next summer?
wow...I can see why you want to reproduce it, it is lovely.
ReplyDelete@Barb I just love how they look! and when I googled them, I found quite a bit of interesting patterns, I think this will become my most used pattern :)
ReplyDeleteTHAT is about the coolest. I'm not usually into orange, but have to tell you it's an awesome combination. Now that I've seen what you've done with it, I might have to go back and get the template LOL. The husbands aren't going to let us shop together anymore!!
ReplyDeleteI am not into orange either, but it works for Halloween ;)
ReplyDeleteI could let you borrow my ruler :P Then you wouldn't get in trouble ;) although I think it could be easier replicated with any square ruler. or you could end make a template of your own.
