So I finally decided to cut into my first fat quarter bundle. I bought this last winter and decided I was brave enough to open it up and pull out some fabric for my next quilt.
It is Kate Spain, Canyon.
I love HSTs and had been looking at a pattern that did something more than just line up the HSTs. I decided on The Summertime Herringbone Quilt by Michael Ann Made.
The pattern calls for 6 1/2 yards, so I did 12 fatquarters. Here are the ones I picked
Now that I have them all trimmed I started to layout the top. Of course, I had to try out straight up HSTs, as well as a few other patterns.
#1 Straight up HSTS
#2 Diamond HSTs
#3 Chevron HSTs
Not sure which I like best. I’m going to think on it for a day or so, than go for it.
If you have a preference, let me know. Thanks!
Beautiful! I'm sure you will love whichever one you choose!
One of my favorite fabric lines! Your blocks are gorgeous regardless of layout! 🙂
I like the Chevrons best. Love the fabrics. Blessings, gretchen
Thanks Gretchen. Working on the Chevron pattern now. Just having a bump in progress as I try to figure out how to smoothly piece together the rows. Having a slight machine issue, it doesn't want to go over all the seams.
