Last week, I cut all the triangles for those little blocks. This week, I will put everything together, one step at a time.
La semaine dernière, j'ai coupé tous les triangles pour ces petits blocs. Cette semaine, je vais tout mettre en place, une étape à la fois.
 |
| First, I sew a little 3 1/2 in. strip with 2 triangles. J'ai d'abord cousu 2 triangles avec une bande de 3 1/2'' |
 |
| After that, I sew with a 7'' strip and press well. Je relie ces triangles à une bande de 7'' et presse bien le tout. |
 |
| The other side of the 7'' strip, I sew another set of triangles. Always chain piecing. It's fast. Puis j'ajoute une autre série de triangles de l'autre côté de la bande de 7''. |
 |
| Well pressed.... On presse bien en place... |
 |
| And I trim to a 4 1/2'' block. Will finish at 4''. Je recoupe à la bonne mesure nécessaire, soit 4 1/2'' non fini. |
 |
| I prepare 4 ''leaves'' to make a test if everything is OK. I think so. I will have to shape 160 leaves. Not done yet. J'ai préparé 4 ''feuilles'' pour vérifier si tout est bien préparé. J'aurai 160 de ces feuilles à former. Now, it's time to prepare the leaves. Le reste de la semaine, je vais former toutes les feuilles de cette étape. À la prochaine! Céline |
You have been quite busy, I love the colors for this quilt.
RépondreSupprimerI see, the 'lattice' is pieced and the leaves are applique. I thought the lattice would be made like the open weave baskets in a Baltimore Album quilt - out of bias strips woven and then appliqued down. This will look fantastic; I like the leaves.
RépondreSupprimerThank you for the mini tutorial! Your blocks are so pretty and well done! Your quilt will be lovely!
RépondreSupprimerWhat a lot of work, but the end result is lovely. That's a lot of flowers to make. Enjoy.

RépondreSupprimerI love these little blocks! Are they for a border?
RépondreSupprimerThis one is definitely a slow and steady kind of quilt, especially with 160 leaves. But from your pictures, it's going to be beautiful!
