Well its time to get to work on the Helix quilt. This quilt is far more effort then some of the quilts I do, but that effort pays off in the end. You can see above us putting the puzzle together and below Tanya ironing it out, to make it all look wonderful as I sew the blocks and rows together.
The first 2 quilts I cut all of it into 2 1/2 inch squares even the empty sides. Tanya convinced me this time to do just rows of white and I am eager to see how the finished quilt will look.
This quilt is far bigger then my first where it had 2 1/2 inch squares and these are 3 1/2 inch so it is much larger which will make it a better lap quilt.
Here is Tanya hold it up by the door. Don't ask why I have 2 of the same picture but I am too lazy to delete it> Though they are different pictures they show nothing different.
oh I love this one. Good colour choices, all pluses stand out :)
ReplyDeleteI like this better than the original plus pattern.
