Two More.
Posted on | December 13, 2024 | 4 Comments
These were easy ones. Family members were after two more Christmas quilts to hang on walls. I had a couple of panels with small blocks, so was able to have a bit of a play with layouts.
The first one needed to be long and narrow.
I always find it tricky working with panels as the blocks are rarely square. I simply put a border around these before stitching them together.
The next one required a different approach. The blocks were roughly 8 inches but needed more to make the quilt size needed.
I chose two different fabrics to be the alternate blocks, one for the inner row and another for the outer.
I found a lovely red for the binding. And I forgot to get a picture of the backing. That was red and white.
Good to have these done and ready to deliver this weekend.
No flower pics this post.
Cheers, Karen

Creative use of panels! I agree, too–panels are never square!
Two cuties finished! The layout is great. Panels are never square and often skewed. I’ve had a hard time even with small panel blocks like those you have used for the quilts, had to trim them down to the right size. Happy Holidays!
I agree with you about panels…. they always need some manipulation!!! those are lovely and look nice and fresh and cool!
