I cannot believe how fast this thing went together! Okay, I realize now this was a ridiculously easy pattern, but at least now I understand how quilts go together. I still need to get the backing fabric, I already have the batting and just received a brand new walking foot in the mail so I can quilt it all together myself. Now to figure out exactly how I want to quilt this thing, shadow quilting the seams, or just big X's across each square?
Yes, I am already thinking about the next one, which will be a t-shirt quilt of all Mister Vonkysmeed's beloved Oingo Boingo concert shirts. I should have that done in plenty of time for Christmas and now is a great time to start being on the look out for Day of the Dead fabric for the backing. So I guess the Big Block quilt pattern was a pretty good introduction to what I will need to do to get that project done!
Looks great! I need to start on a quilt for my nephew (due on October). I really like the color tones you used - may have to use that for inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wanted something he would enjoy now but could grow with also. It helps that my boy loves cars and their room is decorated with a Hawaiian motif!
