After a rather slooow start due to a fast-paced cold/flu over the past few days, got to gather my
Grand Illusion Mystery fabrics for
Bonnie K. Hunter's annual mystery quilt ALL us quilt-maniacs, myself certainly included, look forward to each year. And I think these batiks will work well, don't you?:
Once again, decided to use the
SNS system to create my half-square triangles:
 |
| First two sides sewn to the center block |
 |
| Sewing on the final 2 sides |
 |
| All pressed and ready to be trimmed |
 |
| Time to trim up those sides |
 |
| 4 half-square triangles ready to be sewn into blocks |
Just 200+ to go! Actually - I have all of the SNS units sewn and almost half of them cut. I'll post an update when I get them all assembled w/black & yellow squares, which I do have all cut out ready to go.
UPDATE 12/2/2014: Part I Finish...Yippee!
Got ALL the SNS HSTs trimmed and cut:
 |
| ALL Part I HSTs cut and ready to assemble |
Whipped out the ol' Bernina 1090 to finish piecing - LOVE the sound of this quilting workhorse, and just look what we were able to finish up together:
 |
| Chain piecing the broken dish units |
They look like pretty butterflies to me ;-)
Tah Dah!
 |
| Part I of Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt ALL finished up! |
Like I always say...time to get back to it ;-)
Later,
Beautiful batik fabrics! I have never tried this method of making HSTs? It looks very easy though?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kevin! Personally, 'I' think the SNS method for creating HSTs is the bomb - I especially enjoy how precise I can get them IF my 'Magic Math' calculations are correct ;-)
DeleteThanks for stopping by, great hearing from you. Enjoy our quilting adventure w/Grand Illusion Mystery and I will enjoy watching your progress...
