I finished up a few odd small quilts and then pulled out a bag of someone's UFO that I had gotten at the thrift store. All the muslin squares were cut but there were not very square so I straightened them up. Only a few of the colored squares were cut, which was good since I had to square them up also. Then I cut the remaining fabric the correct size.
I wasn't convinced on one of the fabrics that came in the bag, so I switched it for a brown from my stash right away. Better, but still not quite right.

Then I switched out the beige with red blobs for more brown and did a little bit of rearranging. I am hoping this will be a baby boy quilt to have on hand. Those red blobs looked too much like roses and the color just wasn't working. I like this much better.

I like your changes, and I'm so intrigued -- I never thought of looking for someone else's UFO at a thrift shop! Also, what is the "webbing style" of piecing the rows together?
ReplyDeleteI use Bonnie Hunter's method for webbing the blocks together. It keeps everything in order and it goes very quickly. I can even stop partway, come back later and never lose my place. Check it out at http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/webbing-top-or-how-to-chain-stitch.html
