Yes, I think I am calling this quilt Scrap Dash instead of 30 Something.
I spent some time on Wednesday standing in front of the design wall and rearranging various units. The more I do this the better it looks.
I can also tell what I need to work on next. In this case, I need more half square triangles. I prepared a bunch for sewing at Craft Night, but haven’t actually sewed them yet. The process in this quilt was: 1. cut squares; 2. draw lines; 3. sew; 4. cut apart; 5. square up. I don’t really mind this process, but I wish they had chosen a better system like using the Simple Folded Corners Ruler. I wasn’t able to find a tutorial using the size pieces I had already cut, so I just went with the drawing method.
I like the title Scrap Dash, it’s really looking great. It’s tough when a pattern doesn’t use your preferred method for making HST.
I think there is a tension between giving people enough information and the number of pages a pattern takes. Pages = $$$, so I understand. Still, whenever i see 2 7/8′ from now on I am going to cut 3″ and plan to trim.
