new WIP pic of Italian Wine

WOW!!!!

Beautiful! I've played with those a little bit. I really like making the square on point from the same episode. Fun to be able to cut something out so quickly!

Can't wait to see this project as it progresses.

That's gorgeous - beautiful work! I can't wait to see it all sewn together. Thank you for sharing.

Don't suppose you have a link to the pattern, do you?

There isn't really a pattern. I did it this way.. Say you have 2 fabrics -- "red" and "black" Cut 10 inch squares Stack up 2 "reds" and "blacks" With a 3" wide ruler centered along the diagonal, rotary cut both sides of the ruler Do the other diagonal the same way.

Then, sew together alternating pieces from the different layers of the stack. Half the blocks come out with a "black" X and the other half have the "red" X.

Cutting 10" raw squares fits nicely if you're using fat quarters.

Dear Susan,

Was this the episode that you used tape to mark your mat to l> I've finished all the blocks, and completed my layout; thereby

All I can say is, "WOW!" That's going to be one gorgeous quilt, Susan!

yup; that's it. I gave up trying to fix up the mat. I just plopped everthing down and slashed. I "upsized" the width of the diagonals so I could just use my 3" cutting ruler -- just lined the ruler up on the diagonal of the square of fabric and slashed; didn't need to measure.

I'm going to machine quilt it; no distinct plan though. I'm thinking some irridescent or at least rayon shimmery stuff. Maybe a red variegated? Maybe just a metallic dark in the black?

I suspect I'll just doodle different fill patterns randomly as they occur to me in the various shapes, but I'm not sure about the *black* parts. susan kraterfield see my quilts: members.cox.net/kratersge

You could doodle continuous lines of wine bottles, or maybe grapevines. Roberta in D
