That’s a good idea too!

I have my gypsy wife finished as to Jen Kingwell’s pattern but want to add an inner sashing (probably white) and then an outer border (maybe pinwheels or something) so I haven’t posted photos on the QB yet. I think it would be a daunting task to try to construct one without a pattern but maybe some of you have a program that might help...I’ll be curious if anyone tries it.

Here it is without the sashing and borders.

JMoore your GYpsy Wife is lovely! I think your fabric choices combine perfectly making this a very cheerful and beautifully constructed GW - I love it!
|
Jmoore that is beautiful. It has rekindled my desire to make one.
|
I love all of the colors!!! How much time do you think you spent on it? I’m just curious!!
|
I too have the pattern, but that's as far as its gone. Actually looking at any of them on YouTube, they simply look like a bunch of "trial" blocks of various sizes-colors, connected with a jelly roll...either bought or homemade. Breaking it down into vertical strips, it seems manageable. I do believe the original pattern does have a few errors in it....but have been corrected. Maybe someday I'll gather all my orphan blocks and see what comes of it!

Thanks! I’m not ready to join a quilt along, was just “thinking out loud “ ��

I have been wanting to do one also. I think I will start with all my orphan blocks from my batiks. There is a lot of info online, enough that I think I can just wing it and put it together as I have leftovers. Probably won't look as pretty as jmoores but it will be really scrappy. Arghhhh....another work in progress to pile on my table.

Jmoore, what a beautiful job. I love your scrappy quilt.
I am thinking of doing this as well. But, I will probably use Jen Kingwell's idea of Gypsy Wife as a guidline. I will change out blocks that I really love with blocks that are not my favorite. But, both your quilt and Jen Kingwell's pattern are very inspiring. Here's a link to a pattern correction in one of the sections of Gypsy Wife. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/455989531002096512/. You could use this as a jumping off point to design your own quilt. With a nod to Gypsy Wife. I have heard the original pattern is a little difficult to follow. But, people with really good Math Skills don't have any problem at all. lol, that's not me. |
