SAHRR Prompt #2
This week Kathleen from https://kathleenmcmusing.com/ is providing us with the second prompt in our adventure. She is asking us to "Make It A Double”. We are kindly offered a number of options, and even some patterns. That's very generous . Thank you Kathleen. I was using my little block tool to check out possibilites that caught my interest. I've had this tool for a number of years, and it's chock full of hellpful hints in addition to a number of blocks and the cutting directions for numerous sizes.
As you can see, there are lots of doubles in this little block..The basic elements are triangles sewn into HSTs and then becoming geese pairs. Then I thought about some small mis cuts from another project i'm working on, and thought, "Why not give it a shot?" So here we have another doubles.
I'm not sure yet if this block will figure in my finished project, but I don't like waste, so there will be a home at some point.
Today I also finished a little baby quilt from some leftovers. I made a full size bed quilt from these fabrics at an earlier time.I'm practicing finishing binding by machine. This was my second, and it's better than the first. This time I used the open toed applique foot for the job. Here is a pic of it too.There was not pattern, I just used what was left in the fabric bits.

I am glad you enjoyed the prompt and really like your double double - flying geese and hourglass...doubled. You never know what will get used or duplicated in these until you get a little further, at least that is my approach. Fun baby quilt, too!
ReplyDeleteTwo pretty blocks! I've not heard of that block tool, but how cool is that? It would be a handy tool, especially when it gives multiple sizes.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool tool you have! I like your pretty blocks.

I love the double flying geese-- perfect for this prompt. And I also have been practicing my binding by machine and I'm happy to say I'm getting better at it. Do you sew it to the back and then wrap to the front? That's the way I'm learning it. :) Carry on!
ReplyDeleteI sewed my binding to the back first as well.
Deletetoday I did my thrid one on a little practice piece. I was practicing free motion quiting as well, so I get to practice a number of things and then someone caan use the finished piece. I'm hoping to post a picture of this little piece after we get the third prompt. Thanks for visiting.
I think I should have done double flying geese, but I didn't. I really love the baby quilt and those colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks Daryl. Lately I've seen a number of quilts with geese blocks. I'm thinking of making a lap size one with these winged creatures.
DeleteI like your geese and your baby quilt is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Janine. I'm happy that you dropped in for a visit.
