I fell in love with this quilt when I saw a picture of it hanging at Market. I ordered the kit from Fat Quarter Shop because my fabric is mostly packed up and I didn't feel like rooting around in tubs. I see they've sold out the first round and have ordered more.
The kit came in this week and I started with the #1 block, a gigantic 36" block. Then I decided to go ahead and make the other two blocks in that section. Those are each 18". The quilt is 84 x 96, but it sure seems like it's going to be a lot bigger if this section is any indication!

One of the reasons I am so enjoying making these blocks is the piecing. When I first started quilting (13 years ago this month!) I don't think all of the quick piece techniques were out there for QSTs, HSTs and flying geese. You cut triangles and stitched them together. This feels like I'm back to basics! So much fun!
I know, I know, I should be cleaning out my closet, but it's Labor Day and I'd rather be at the Bernina!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
