With Rupert’s help, I tackled the second quadrant of the HST quilt
I promise, Rupert is snoopervising from somewhere in that pile of blankets.
I laid the next quadrant out beside the completed one so I could ensure there would be no like fabrics touching. This is the kind of quilt where you can drive yourself batty trying to get fabric placement just perfect. I don’t even really try – I just focus on ensuring no two of the same fabric touch, and call it a day. Some are a little closer together than I like, but I can live it with. Once the whole quilt is together, it won’t be as noticeable anyway.
Despite it’s size, the quadrants go together fairly quick. In just over an hour, I had it together, and sewn to the first quadrant.
And just like that – the top is already half done!

That is beautiful. Sometimes perfectly laid out quilts are boring and the scrappy type is just beautiful THis is a beautiful one.

I love scrappy quilts, and agree that fabric placement can sometimes be maddening. I love the looks of all these HSTs.

I love the directionality of your quilt; it has such great energy flow with that arrow! (I know, it won’t always be arrows.) And Rupert looks quite content.

My first thought was “Where’s Rupert?” That is a nice nest of blankets that he has. Love the way this quilt is coming together.
