WIP Wednesday 11/9/2011

I went on a personal quilting retreat by the ocean last week. While I was away I worked blocks for Cathy’s Southwest, my current quilt. Last night I finished the red/gold Diamond in a Square blocks and tonight I finished the purple/turquoise ones, a total of 32 blocks.

Also tonight I began working on Economy Patch blocks, a fancier version of Diamond in a Square. I should have those 16 blocks finished this weekend.

    I went poking around your blog to see if I could find out more info on this quilt and I found the picture of the layout, very cool! That's going to be one bold quilt when it's finished!

    Those blocks look great in the solids! (And I'm a sucker for red-and-gold colours.) Nice work. :)

    Wow, that will keep you busy! What is the finished block size on them? They look small. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks, everyone, for the many compliments. A Girl: the blocks, actually block units, are supposed to be 4" finished, but with my imperfect 1/4" seam they are probably going to be more like 3.75" finished. The completed quilt is supposed to be 61.5" square, but will probably be a few inches smaller than that.

    I've pretty much been taking a personal quilting retreat at home this past week or so. I've just kept sewing and sewing no matter what else was going on around me.
