All those small blocks and seams along with that pellon...doesn't that make it bulky? Just wondering as I've never used

Great blocks! My 13 year old son has these pixelated characters on his bedroom wall d still thinks they are cool! He would love the quilt too

It is so easy and fast, considering how many squares are in each block. The first block (one up mushroom) was a learning process, so it isn't as nice looking...but I don't think it will be noticeable once the quilt is together and quilted. I think I am going to use a clear/transparent thread to quilt so I don't interfere with the pictures.

What is it about guys that want to eat when we're in the middle of a quilting project, it's always something. LOL.

Thank you ruthrings, I will most certainly use the fusible pellon with the grids. And, I followed your link for the Prayers and Squares, and have to tell you, your quilts are beautiful, especially the first one. Fell in love!
|
Very nice! Sure wish I could join you. Have fun.
|
Glad to hear you are enjoying making it. I have thought about doing something like this and keep talking myself out of it! Your comments are encouraging. The one thing I might do is take a couple hours, cook a bunch of stuff, put it in separate containers with microwave instructions for the hungry hubby and hide away in my sewing room!!!
|
wow! what a great idea and they really turned out well and so whimsical at the same time. I love them.
|
Very talented but you are right, they are a lot easier using the fusible printed grid. I have used that to make several watercolors.
|
Fun quilt, my grandchildren would love it.
