What is on your design wall this morning? I'm linking up - https://smallquiltsanddollquilts.blogspot.com/
My design wall is full of Roll On blocks, ready for sewing into rows. I may have to "live" with this layout for a couple of days while I redistribute colors for a better balance.
I love this pattern and need to keep it in mind for more future quick projects. The unfinished blocks are 7.5", so this one with 30 blocks is perfect for a child or crib size. But it looks great in any size and any colors. A group of friends and I made a large sized one for donation to a breast cancer raffle back in about 2009. It was to support a teacher coworker of one of the group. Several of us made these blocks in pinks, greys, and blacks and then we got together and sewed the top together as a team.
There are 80 blocks in this one, plus a couple of borders. See our quilt in progress, and get more of the story of the quilt - at this blog post - made the first month I was blogging. Time sure flies!! The little boy in the post is a senior in college already!!
EDITED: I also found a picture of another Roll On quilt I made. This one was for another cancer fundraiser, made in 2011. It had a more masculine look to it. This may have to be a color combination I try again - reds, gold, and grey.
Those Roll On blocks look like fun! I do the same thing with the layout -- I have to leave the blocks on the design wall for a few days, take pictures and look at them on the computer to see if anything jumps out at me on the screen that I didn't notice "live," and make REALLY CERTAIN that I'm happy with how all the blocks are relating to one another before I can commit to start sewing them together!
ReplyDeleteAll of these Roll On quilts are wonderful. You have a good eye for color and fabric placement.
ReplyDeleteThese quilts would be great for baby quilt, with my baby fabric stash. I made some notes and will make one with Roll On blocks. Thanks for showing us your beautiful quilts. And thanks for linking with Design Wall Monday, Judy
ReplyDeleteI square up each quarter of the block to 4.25".
DeleteI love that design. Would be wonderful for RSC and so many other projects. Could you let me know what measurements you use to cut the wedges please? Many thanks.
