Again I started with the pattern on the cover of the Karla Alexander book, Stack, Shuffle and Slide - here it is on Amazon. And again I added lots more piecing, and inserts, and bits and bobs.
This time I even added little pieces to the sashing strips.
Next it needs a narrow plain background border and then I'm going to piece the accent border before finishing it off with a wide background border. My plan is to machine quilt this one myself in a grid pattern that looks like an uneven plaid. I can do it all with my walking foot and that's the kind of machine quilting I do best.
I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.
Hope your week is going fine - mine seems to be moving quickly - again!
Happy stitching-

Look at you - just painting up a storm and turning it into a masterpiece! Your sashing is a great choice - it showcases the blocks perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI once knew a 20-something that would forget and be running late and would arrive at work with her slippers. She finally left a pair of shoes at work for those days.
