witha'K'quilting Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 There are 48 of one block and 52 of the other. I have some ideas of my own for setting...so can't wait to see what Bonnie does. I am also going to do the pieced border and then call it done. I am pleased so far with the progress of this scrappy quilt. Thanks Jeanne for the applause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think the black really did the trick with your blocks especially because you didnt go with the Christmas fabrics, I woud think of calling it my Be- Jeweled quilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 The best part is that all of my bonus triangles are going into the Old Tobacco Road pattern that is on Bonnie's website. So..I have been piecing that one too as I am going. Taking a while...but hopefully by February, I can have that one done too. I love scrappy quilts. Especially on Black. It makes the colors just pop of the quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I read Bonnie' s tip about when putting the squares on top to make the half square triangles to sew a second line 3/8 of an inch from the center to complete your extra 1/2 sq triangle before cutting, is a great idea. I did that last night with two blocks that I was making for a block of the month and it yielded 24 extra 2 1/2 inch half square triangles blocks . You don't realize how much fabric you are wasting until you do this and start recycling them into your next scrap quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriVB Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Kristina--those look great--I am half finished with step 3--but have all of step 4 cut out and ready to go--I have been finishing some Christmas gifts and the last few customer quilts--so my goal is to just stay with it and have it all finished--with the pieced border--and hopefully quilted and bound--before the New Year--although I am not sure how many more steps are involved. I really like how this has taken a dent out of my stash--I have been really good with my fabric diet this year--and have only bought fabric for a specific plan. But it has been fun taking a trip down memory lane using all of my "old" fabrics that I used when I was doing the craft show thing. Good for you guys saving the waste triangles--I have a few zip loc bags full of those already and don't want to add any more to them--so I am skipping that part this time. Happy Sewing!!!

witha'K'quilting Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Terri- Are you going to post pictures of your progress? Dory- I can't wait either to see it finished! By the way...I love bonus triangles. You can do so much with them! They are great in borders, as a mini quilt, to use as confetti at your next guild party!

witha'K'quilting Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Part 6 - The Layout is posted on Bonnie's site. Very pretty I might add. I have a layout that I am going to try to see if I like it better. She said there were many setting options. Will hopefully post more in a day or two.
