Design wall 2/27/17 bindings

On By alwaysquiltsIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Actually my design wall is bare at the moment………I made a quilt last week using our Triple Play pattern. Here it is without the borders added on. 

I used two different marbled fabrics from The Quilted Treasures line.  It’s now finished, quilted and in the stack of bindings that I need to finish. I usually try to finish the bindings before the stack gets out of hand but this time they got away from me! I have 8 that are ready to sew the bindings down. 

So nothing is on my design wall this week. But there’s plenty on my plate. Bindings…….

Left over batik blocks

On By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, quilts1 Comment

I ended up having 12 squares leftover from the batik quilt top, so I needed to come up with a way to use them. (I didn’t want to have them laying around in a drawer or box somewhere). So I made them into HST’s. Now I have 24 squares, which is enough to do a lap quilt. I played around with arranging them on the design wall and here’s a few ideas….
I could make pinwheel blocks and add a sashing.

Or turn them and make squares on point. Again adding a sashing.

I could just make them triangles with a sashing.

Or I could do this.

Or even this way.

Decisions decisions. I’m not sure what I will do with them yet. I’ll look at them today while I quilt and maybe decide on the layout…….

Have a good day!
