Facets
Spring 2009 edition
Over my many years of looking at quilts,
I've seen this block multiple times
in other books and magazines.
3 flannel shirts, 2 dark, 1 light and 1 red PJ flannel pants
Cut in 2½ inch strips
Sewn end to end.
so cutting on straight grain is very difficult.
One has to have a mind set not to worry about it too much.
Some tricks like using this Creative Grid ruler helps.
I didn't think it mattered where the red squares went, but it does.
On my light blue, it goes in upper right.
Then the opposite corner.
When you have leftover triangles,
its easier to stitch them together while attached
to make half square triangles.
Don't know if they will be used?

Looks like a wonderful memory quilt! I wonder, if the flannel grain is an issue, if you could iron it onto a lightweight interfacing before cutting the pieces. It would add some stability but not much extra weight. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteThis will be a pretty memory quilt. I don't envy you working with those older flannels though! It's so good to see you back at Wednesday Wait Loss. Thanks for sharing your project.

That will be a lovely memory quilt - Flannel is so soft and cozy - I can just imagine the loving feeling that will be in wrapping up in it!!!!
