My first Slab Blocks. I'm hoping to do enough blocks (72) to do 3 lap quilt size quilts 48 x 72, plus possible borders. Four down, only 68 more to go. They seem fairly easy and a good way to use up scraps. Light blue, pink and black are for girl quilts, and the dark blue for a boys quilt. It's a start. I was going to try the Butterfly strip quilt from Missouri Star quilt company and tried 3 blocks, but decided I didn't enjoy the process. This block is more to my liking at this time. Here is a link to the free pattern: http://www.cherylarkison.com/ and http://www.ctpub.com/cheryl-arkison/ And, there is an excellent tutorial on YouTube by SewVeryEasy, on her channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaEl11xk6Qg&t=4s And, another excellent tutorial by Weekend Project, evidently it was a Canada 150th Anniversary Celebration block. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNJ2_ZNRPTA A bargain method to do 3 great-grandbaby big girl and big boy quilts. Here is one by Crazy Mom Quilts with sashing. That would cut my blocks needed down to about 36. http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2013/07/ Hmmm. And, one without sashing by Naptime Quilter, (Cheryl Larkison, the blocks creator) http://naptimequilter.blogspot.com/2013/06/slabs-for.html I'm a ways away from having to make a decision. Oops, I guess this is the pattern link: https://www.canadianquilter.com/pdf/quilt-canada-2017/Quilting-Bee-How-to-make-a-block.pdf |
