| My One Monthly Goal quilt is complete. I didn't intend to rotate the orientation of the Schoolgirl Puzzle blocks, but about half way though adding the triangles around the blocks, I realized I had turned the directional fabric on some of the them. In the end, I'm liking the way it turned out. Sometimes big boo-boos become happy accidents! |
 |
| There is a small flower in the light blue check that needs to be face up--lol! |
 |
| The back is a very nice quality, wide muslin from a donation to one of our sewing groups. I like the way it shows off the Easy Orange Peel pantograph I used for the quilting. Because of the light back, I used a cream colored thread to do the quilting. |
 |
| Scrappy binding. I have a small stash of QOV labels so this quilt is ready to go! |
 |
| A little traditional, a little funky! |
 |
| That stack of cut blocks I showed in a previous post has all been sewn. |
 |
| My favorite and least favorite blocks of the group. Sail Away: favorite because it's cute. Drum: least favorite because of those skinny quarter inch pieces. |
 |
| And then this happened--15 more blocks! Only 17 left to go--yay!!!! |

Congrats on the finish! That block looks really cool rotated like that!
ReplyDeleteI love it when boo boos make us happy. The quilt is sweet especially with all the flowers pointing skyward. Someone will find it a treasure.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I saw this quilt was how pleased I was to see that you'd alternated the direction of the blocks. I just love it! What a beautiful finish. Well done to finish it for your monthly goal, too.
ReplyDeleteYour puzzle quilt looks great with the rotated blocks - congrats! The boat block is my favourite too, probably because of that yellow fabric :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your Puzzle quilt is terrific. I think turning the blocks makes the quilt much more interesting. And, your little label is darling. Did you design it or is available on line somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI like your "mistake" . The orientation of the blocks lead the viewer's eye around the quilt, making it more interesting. Great colors, too. Good on meeting your goals, Karen!

I see what you mean about the directional print but what a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI just really, really, really love your red white and blue quilt...perfect!! I have the book for the 4x5 blocks; yours are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful finish for those blocks! I like the way they turn, and no one will ever notice the flower isn't oriented correctly. Who can even see it? =)
