Look what I finished! Well, not all finished, but all blocks A - Z are done. I also finished the four filler blocks. Today I am feeling very productive :)
For this quilt I used low-volume fabrics in the background and solid fabrics for the letters. Each block will get sashing using the same low-volume fabrics. I am going to use a larger sashing than in the directions to break up some of the solid black.

Typically, I don't grow attached to my quilts. It's something I do as a hobby, for entertainment. Although with this one, I am attached. This is the first quilt in a long time that I actually want to keep! Now, I just have to decided, border or none, binding, and backing.
The "X" is not my favorite, it's actually is bothering me! The lines are thicker than any other letter. I am still thinking about reworking this block. On a happy note, all the other blocks came together very fast and were easy to piece. I was worried with matching the crazy seams. Even if they were a little off it would be obvious as the letters would be choppy. Let's just say Moda did a great job designing the letters, I didn't even use a pin and it all worked out great.
This quilt is impressive sitting here on the floor. I think I am going to sit here and stare at if for a while longer. Enjoy the moment until my next wave of energy.
Sew long for now,

I love, love, love your alphabet blocks. I recently bought a book to make them but I just haven't had time yet. Great job!

fabulous job. I have the instructions for the 'spell it with fabric' but haven't started them. Your version might give me a little kick to get going on them. After, of course, I finish the two I have going now.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can see why you want to just sit and stare at the letters. That is going to be a really cool quilt. I can't wait to see it with the sashing.
ReplyDeleteLove this too. It IS a keeper!
