I have finished all the blocks for my yellow and grey Lady of the Lake quilt! There are a total of 519 HST units in these piles. I enjoyed making them and I enjoyed sewing them together but I really did not enjoy all of the trimming down. Of course, the trimming down was very much worth it as they lined up nicely for me. I have decided to go with the random placement of the Kona Ash and the Amy Butler Slate Lady of the Lake blocks. I much prefer it over the diagonal placement. We are having an 8th birthday party here this weekend so I don't feel like it's a good time to lay out all the blocks on the dining room floor. Instead, I prepared the binding. I decided on a mini white and grey Designer Houndstooth by Free Spirit. I'm so excited!
Yay! That's so exciting. And 519 half square triangles? Oh my gosh! I can see how you'd get tired of trimming them down.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the finished quilt!
Can you tell me what HST means? I know it's a quilting term, but I'm not familiar with it yet. =)
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are lovely and I relaly like your binding...I can't wait to see it all together!
Wow! 519?!? That sure is a lot of trimming! I can't wait to see the final project.
ReplyDeleteSo impressive! I can't wait to see the finished project!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely binding choice. This sunny quilt is so pretty! Often I try not to think about the # of certain units that are required. If I thought too much about it, I'd never start making 519 of anything!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love this quilt! Houndstooth is a great idea for the binding.
ReplyDeleteWow wow, that's a lot of HSTs! I love the color combo and can't wait to see this come together!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that binding is going to be perfect!
