The tenth wheelchair quilt is a flimsy. The blocks are 9" finished.
I had four blocks on hand. I spent more time than I anticipated with fabric selection for the other sixteen blocks. Many of the center patches are fussy-cut from Australian prints.
These ten flimsies used 19-3/8 yards which is pretty darn close to the 20 yards I said I'd use. (The guild charity committee packaged kits as starters for these wheelchair (35 x 48) quilts. I took several packages totaling 20 yards (by weight). I used some of the kit fabric but also orphan blocks and fabric from my stash. I'll use the rest of the kit fabric eventually!)
Linking up with Midweek Makers and Wednesday Wait Loss

Are you really getting a blizzard? Stay warm and safe and enjoy that pretty white stuff from indoors looking out the window! Although... a wintry wonderland does make the perfect backdrop for quilt photos, doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteYour Ohio Stars look great together. It's always nice to move fabric from stash to quilt! Hope the blizzard fizzles. We've had rain all day and the temps are going to be dropping 20 degrees or so by mid day Friday and then go into the single digits Friday night into Sat. We'll supposedly be waking up in the low teens on Sunday. Those temps are way below normal for us. Good thing I have a warm winter coat. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYour Ohio Star quilt is awesome - one of my favorite blocks to make. The depth of color on this one is really rich.
ReplyDeleteA very fun finish. Congrats on using almost 20 yards. That's an achievement with the holiday so close to the end of the year. Stay warm!
