Happy Sunday, my mates! Here’s the most recent from the stitching room of Bonjour Quilts. Find your self someplace comfortable, seize a cuppa and take a second for your self.
I’m doing nicely with my queen dimension Diamonds within the Deep quilt. There are 4 completely different block sorts on this quilt and I’ve sewn and trimmed three of them. One block group to go after which I’ll be prepared to put all of them out.
For these stitching alongside, keep in mind to maintain all of your strip remainders till the top – they may come in useful. I made a mistake when trimming one block; I by chance trimmed it a half-inch too brief on one facet. D’oh. Luckily I had a remnant of a bigger strip which I used to be capable of sew on after which trim again. Phew!
Here you may see examples of the three completely different block teams I’ve sewn to date. Each is barely completely different in it’s proportion of sunshine to darkish material. This is what’s going to result in the ombré impact when the quilt is put collectively. I’m actually wanting ahead to seeing it.
I’m additionally proud of how the block materials look. I like the little pops of color from the washi tape prints. Before I began the blocks I used to be to-ing and fro-ing about utilizing a contrasting fuchsia print for the centre squares. I used to be fearful the blocks would look somewhat plain.
Now that they’re coming collectively I can see that they appear simply tremendous. I’m completely happy that I’ve saved the intense fuchsia material for the binding. (I additionally purchased a printed pink sheet set to accompany the quilt. I believe the pink distinction will likely be a winner.)
Next e-newsletter I’ll give my hints/suggestions for trimming all of the blocks. Until then, I’ll preserve stitching.
