Here's my first pieces quarters. I can't say this is fabric I would have picked myself but for practicing it was fine, I really had to be careful to get straight cuts because the gingham would really show if I was very crooked.
Here's the finished block all sewing together. I had a bit of trouble with the binding because the directions weren't exactly clear but all and all I'm happy with the final result. Now I'm practicing hand quilting on it & then I move on to the doll quilt I bought the Mode quilt kit for.
I'm a quilter and I give you an A+ You did a great job with the gingham! You'll soon also learn a mitered binding. Can you imagine quitling long ago and cutting with only scissors??
ReplyDeleteOne of my first blocks was an Ohio Star that I quilted in 1/4" lines just for practice. I made it into a pillow top and when I finally found a quilting group, one woman looking at it from the next table asked if I'd used chenille for the background fabric. {g} I still cut all my quilt pieces by hand using double templates - one for the cutting line and one for the hand piecing line.
