I hope everyone had a nice weekend. It's been raining here since yesterday afternoon. It's rather dark and dreary which I think is a great time to quilt! I posted what my star looked like for Laurel Ridge, well this is what it was supposed to look like! I inverted those green rectangle pieces with the gold square. It still looks very similar and I'm okay with it. By the time I noticed the error, it would have been too much work to fix it. The center block measure 30.5" square.
This quilt is made up of 4 corner blocks and 4 inner blocks as well as the center I've already made. This is my version of the inner blocks. I did not do any applique for this quilt. I decided to piece instead. Alternative blocks were made available. I made these pieced ring blocks which give the same effect as the appliqued blocks. However, I opted to make flying geese instead of the second applique block. Flying geese were repeatedly made for this quilt so I thought it would fit in nicely. This sections measures 30.5" X 25.5".
These pieces are not all sewn together but gives you an idea of what the quilt will look like so far. I plan on starting the 4 corner pieces when these are pieces are all sewn together.
Here's a picture of the original quilt design by Lynn Wilder and offered by The Quilt Show. Mine is similar but also different which is okay with me. Just a little poetic license!!
Laurel Ridge is going to be stunning, Rosemary. Good that they offered alternate pieced blocks to replace the applique'. The applique' blocks are what is keeping me from finishing Halloween Figs.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanna! I just wasn't in the mood to commit to doing applique. It always takes me forever and piecing is so much quicker. Maybe you can find some alternate blocks too???
