… and purples!
It was finally time to get to work on the wedding quilt for my cousin, so Burton and I got to work making big HSTs for the Moda Love quilt. Thirty-six 9.5 inch HSTs to be exact. Working on two quadrants at a time, we laid them out on the design bed…
And we got sewing. (Well I did…. Burton went and had nap.) And before we knew it, I had those quadrants done, so I laid out the last two and they sewed up just as fast.
Then it was just a matter of rotating and sewing them all together.
As you can see, it gave us a good-sized quilt very quickly (72″ square) but we wanted this one really big.
So we got to work cutting and sewing borders and before long…
I had to take it outside because it was too big to show it all on the design bed. 90″ square now. I really recommend this pattern if you want to make a big quilt in a hurry.
Now I’ve got a date with Mom at the end of the month to get it quilted, in plenty of time for the November wedding!

This will undoubtedly be the favorite gift at the wedding. I love those deep, deep colors. Lord Burton seems to make the difficult decisions and leave the piddling sewing to the lowly servants. l0l
Blessings and hugs,
