I went full steam ahead on the Blockheads! I finished the flimsy at the end of our TV watching Sunday evening. (We saw the final minutes of the Super Bowl in between PBS programs.)
I added 1.5" (1" fin.) sashing and cornerstones to give the blocks some breathing room. (I ran out of Kona Snow for the sashing, but before I went out to buy more I looked again. There was a 5-yard piece that I bought in late December. I do not remember buying it but I'm glad I did, and I'm glad I checked.)

It's 74 x 90 and I calculate 6-1/2 yards, all from my stash.
(The Moda Blockheads Facebook group has photos of many interpretations (color, genre) and clever settings. The 6" blocks were a real skill-builder with all their tiny pieces. Here is the link to the entire sew-along.)

I leave for the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Denver on Thursday morning. I need to read committee documents, finalize my schedule, pack -- and choose a handwork project to take along.

Oh, Scrap!
Nice job getting that finished up. And, I try to keep some Kona White, Snow and Navy blue in the stash at all times. Unless I run out! Is this a keeper quilt for you?
ReplyDeletePretty quilt top Nann. The border frames it really nicely. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteHi Nann,
ReplyDeleteReally nice job on all the Blockhead blocks, and your quilt top looks fabulous. The border looks great to me - it doesn't distract from any of the blocks yet it finishes it off nicely. ~smile~ Roseanne
I love that sashing! It looks organic. I can't imagine any other sashing treatment that would look so good and natural with your setting.
ReplyDeleteThat border frames everything perfectly - what a wonderful quilt you've made!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks lovely. A great job, especially the added sashing - love it.
