Geometrics 2- baby quilt with blue
Well, these are getting to be pretty big baby quilts - Believe it or not, I had bought 3 meters of this light blue and decided to use it up with these quilts. I had to buy it locally as I had none of this shade of blue. Actually I’ve devastated my solid light blues. I guess that’s good. That means I’ve used a lot of them up. Mostly in charity quilts!
I’ll trim those little black squares off after I quilt it when I trim off the backing and batting.
I now it needs a nice pressing. Actually it was pressed nicely and then got placed somewhere before the photos. But this one is destined to be quilted soon, so soon there will be new photos! Better photos!
Anyway, I also didn’t have enough of the 2” strips left to make another one on point, so I made this one with 2.5” strips - which, naturally makes my blocks bigger.
But I do like it!
And I like how it tames the wildness of the geometric design fabrics.
I hope you like it as well.
Once again - I used the same 5 rail rail fence block. The difference with this one was that the strips are cut 2.5” x 10.5” long so the block is a 10.5” unfinished block. For the sashings I used 1.5” strips and the cornerstones are cut 3.5”. That’s all there is to it.
Here’s the layout:
See how easy that is? Not quite as easy as the ones I made not on point, but not bad either. I can explain how I did the side setting triangles when I write up the pattern. It’s not done yet.
Have a great day wherever you are reading this!
