did you see this fun crazy patch table topper I made for Accuquilt’s blog?
Just like my post yesterday I the new mini crazy patch die is great for 10″ squares and this time I used a stack from Strata Graphite by Michael Miller Fabrics (from my ambassador box) available in store in July!
to make it easier during sewing I alternated 25 squares with light and dark and cut them this way too
I always keep my ongoing projects in these plastic bins
then just like a stack and whack method I took JUST the middle “diamond” fabric and laid it on the bottom of the pile
Then I sewed the blocks together
at first I lined them up like the back of the stack showed by MMF
Then I decided to shuffle them around with alternating dark and light backgrounds (of course that’s always up to interpretation)
then I sewed it together
A fellow MMF ambassador suggested pebbles and something else and I decided to just do pebbles all over except for the “diamonds”
I did curves on every other diamond and straight lines on the other
I used a solid grey from MMF for the backing and binding too
Batting is Warm and Natural – of course 🙂
The quilt is 30″ x 30″
I call it a diamond in the rough 😉
This is a lovely piece, Bea; I like your fabric choice for your “gems”;))) hugs, Julierose
I really like that.
I love the fabrics in the quilt top.
