Rather than four rows of three blocks, this one is put together in seemingly random parts. It's "Sample This!" from A Quilter's Dream.
The hardest part of this pattern is determining what fabric goes where. Cathy recommended using a large piece of cardboard to arrange the eight fabrics needed in the first section of the quilt.
The "focus fabric" is used in each section:
I cut only one fabric at a time, so I could keep each with its assigned number:
I also made labels for each of the half-square triangle combinations:
Then arranged each section on my cardboard:
It took four hours to make these two sections! Whew!
And I am making the same quilt from two colorways, so I have the same two sections ahead of me!

Wow that one does look hard, Marti. I'll look forward to seeing both your versions of it. :o)
ReplyDeleteHopefully the next section goes a little faster. It looks great - love the fabrics.

ReplyDeleteBrave woman but the end result has the wow factor,

Wow, Marti! What an awesome BOM project, and I can see why you'd have to keep so organized with it! I can't wait until I have more of my backlogged quilt work done up so I can join in on some of the fun things happening at Ruth's. Love that store. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this. I had to sign up for this via mail! You are such an inspiration!
