Midweek: it's a flimsy!

 

I adapted a pattern titled Texas Two Step published in Fons & Porter's Scrap Quilts, June 2012.  I used 6-1/2" blocks (pattern has 7-1/2").   Most of the HSTs in the border were made from scraps from cutting the hourglass blocks. (I felt so thrifty.)

The block is called Old Maid's Puzzle, Jacks on Six, Double X 1, Three and Six, and Kindergarten Block. (Brackman #1689a)

6 yards used.

  2. Thrifty scraps, maybe a frankenbatt eventually, and you've got a quilt made from "hope and fresh air", as Caroline would say.

    Gonna fix that mis-turned hourglass, or is it too far along to change anything now? (R5, C4)

  3. Looks great, Nann! Love that the border is made from cutoff triangles. I don't see anything turned wrong.

  5. Alternate set blocks are always good but your quarter square triangles are especially lovely. The shading and the border make it. Congrats.

  6. It is beautiful. I love the vintage feel of the quilt, like it belongs in a rustic bed and breakfast.
