I’m getting a great response from my Charming Chevrons quilt tutorial. With the easy to piece blocks they are going together very quickly. Several blog readers are making it in alternate sizes, too.
I was very happy to find a larger seam roller to use in pressing my blocks. I started off using a narrow roller. But when I took Deb Karasik’s workshop she recommended using one with a wider roll, sort of like a wallpaper roller.
You can order one directly from Deb’s store.
I hope to carry them too!
By the way, here’s a picture of Kathie’s quilt in progress using coordinated fabrics and larger blocks cut 8.5 inches instead of 5 inches. The graphic colorscheme is rockin’!!
Kathie is thinking of using Minkee on the back. I think that would be fabulous and she could even skip the batting if she wants!
You’ll notice that Kathie folded and pressed her blocks to get the diagonal registration lines rather than marking them with a pen. This works, too!
The beauty of this pattern is that it will work in ANY size because the blocks are all the same size. You can also use fewer blocks or make your quilt larger by adding borders. Remember, this is YOUR quilt so I give you blanket permission to change it any way YOU want! Now, wasn’t that fun??
