Sugar and Spice - part 2-

Before I report on the progress of  'Sugar and Spice' I wanted to say that I am at the Quiltfestival in Brimingham this Thursday. If any of you are there too and would like to meet up then please let me know. I would love to.

And now to the progress report. After I cut a large number of HSTs I started to think about possible layouts.

First I tried the mosaic block from the Summer Sample Series. But I think the individual HST squares are to big for this and I don't want the quilt to be to large. I only would have 4 mosaic blocks in a row within the size range I have in mind for this quilt which I believe isn't very effective.


On to the next possible layout. I rearranged the squares and ended up with this sort of square in a squares ensemble but again the quilt would have to become large for the patterns to work but I really really like the look of this so....

... I rearranged the blocks a bit more and came up with this which is exactly what I want except that I have to make more HSTs...........big sigh........

  1. That's going to be gorgeous! I must say, I'm really loving the teal-red-white combo that you have going in this quilt. Every time I see a quilt in those colors I wish I had one!

  2. I love how your HSTs are looking, so fresh and bright and yum!

    Come see me at festival of quilts, you can rest your weary toes at our booth when you need a break! (we're at D44...we were somewhere else, but they moved us, to confuse me, I'm sure of it)
