We had a Sew Day on Saturday dedicated to making a group quilt that will be donated. Peggy has a pattern that uses different sizes of squares to make a quilt. I don’t know the name and I am not sure Peggy made it up. She probably found it somewhere. The directions were a bit confusing to start with, but easy once we got a few explanations and I drew some pictures. <\/p>\n

We all brought a few squares that were the right size, so the quilt would be very scrappy. I made one center block and a couple of border blocks. <\/p>\n

My center block didn’t look very nice by itself. The fabrics were scraps from various projects that were the right size. I wasn’t hopeful that my block would fit in.<\/p>\n

The border block looked a bit better. While the motifs were quite different, I think having similar colors was better for a block.<\/p>\n

In general, though, the quilt went together well and the variety of fabrics worked out.<\/p>\n

The quilt looks like an HST quilt, but it didn’t go together that way at all. Unlike some methods of making HSTs, the bias was completely enclosed, so not a problem.<\/p>\n

Peggy did a great job and the participants really stepped up.<\/p>\n
