My current quilt project has taken some time to complete, but the Flea Market Fancy Quilt top is now finished (and will remain without borders).
The quilt top measures 60.5 inches x 60.5 inches
With 100 paper pieced blocks each measuring 6.5 inches x 6.5 inches.
200 paper pieced units,
800 pieces of fabric,
and many happy hours of stitching.
Once all the blocks were complete the quilt top came together without too much difficulty. Although all of the corners of each block (the edges of the printed fabrics) were off-grain, I had taken steps to ensure that all of the edges of the white fabric were perfectly on-grain. Most seams aligned without too much fudging ...
Fabrics used: Flea Market Fancy ~ original collection as well as 2012 Legacy Reprint.
Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in White
I am now wondering if my quilting style suits this quilt (I am concerned that I might ruin it!) and therefore contemplating sending the quilt top to my long arm quilter.
As always, thank you for stopping by,
Rita
