After 5 days in Idaho for a family reunion, then back home trying to catch up, I haven't been sewing much. I am missing those few hours of alone time when my kids were all in school!
So I am hoping a quilt from Amy Smart's book Fabulously Fast Quilts is just that --- fast and fabulous. I had a scrap bag of Salt Air fabric by Cosmos Cricket...mostly long strips. So I decided to try the Butterfly Effect quilt. I love the fabric but am still unsure if I chose the right pattern for it. But I did enjoy using the strip piecing tips in the book and the tube method (that is probably not the technical term.)
Here is a crooked picture I took with my Kindle. The computer is occupied so I am making do. I am linking up to Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday and to Needle and Thread Thursday at My Quilt Infatuation.

Love your fabric choice, I will have to look more into the pattern you make it look perfect.
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting colours and fabrics in your strips. I've not seen hourglass blocks made with strips like this but it's looking great.
ReplyDeleteHour glass quilt is definitely on my to do list.:)
ReplyDeleteI love these blocks, and your quilt is going to be beautiful!!
Nice fabric choice!!
