I was looking for the fastest path to completion so I wouldn't end up with another abandoned project so I quickly finished the blocks I had planned, came up with a layout and started a few of the 44 border blocks to finish the quilt. Hoping to do the border blocks and assembly before the end of the year. I'm trying not to work on more than 2 projects at a time.
I've had bolts of Pioneer Spirit fabric for several months and was anxious to get started on a quilt so I could make kits but wasn't satisfied with my attempts to design one. Then I decided Ricky Tims' Granny's 1930 Sampler pattern was perfect for this fabric. I'm making mine queen size and will be changing some of the blocks, but for the most part it will be the same. This is my first quilt to piece in reverse order. The binding, outer border, inner border, 8 blocks using panel squares, and all of the pre-mitered sashing is done. I like the speed of assembly line sewing. The remaining 41 blocks will be a slower process. I seldom follow written instructions as I like to make oversized blocks and square them up and usually use a different piecing method. I used a completely different way to do the border blocks. The outer border nine patch blocks were made oversized using 3 1/2" squares and the inner border blocks were made from strip sets instead of foundation paper. There is no room for error on these blocks as there is no space between borders and blocks to make adjustments. My inner borders are 1/4" longer than they were supposed to be which is easy enough to ease in, and I will make sure the quilt center doesn't shrink any during assembly by using scant seams.
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
