Tumbling Leaves Quilt, Part 2

7/14/2013

0 Comments

 
Welcome to the 2nd edition of Scrap Basket Sunday!  
Picture
Last week, I finished the remaining leaf blocks and proposed a layout.  However, a few of my blocks fell off the design wall and I thought I stuck them up there in the same spots but apparently not.
Picture
I still wasn't quite happy with the layout in this pic. I wanted all the leaves to be pointing at the bottom of another leaf. Changes: Rotated middle row bottom block 180 degrees, Rotated right row 3rd block 90 degrees CW
Sewed blocks together

Finished sewing the blocks into columns

Finally, I sewed the columns together.

The one odd thing about this pattern is that the construction uses a lot of folded fabric and also glue basting which has caused some really thick stackups of seams.   This is one of the few times where I was purposely flipping seams opposite directions and even ironing them with a fold on the back to try and get it to lay flat (and not break a needle).

Stay tuned for next weekend when I will hopefully get the borders cut and sewn on!
