Thank you for sha...Rita, this turned out wonderful.<br />Thank you for sharing the specific cutting details. This does look like a fun one to put together, I agree, the diagonal ones are always a little shifty.<br />I have a huge design wall (hey, why limit your sewing room to one room?) and It is great for arranging. I just procured for myself, a small step ladder which is so much better than tottering on 24" stools. <br />I really love the way this one turned out.<br />Always inspired♥️Rosemary B❤️https://www.blogger.com/profile/17792395820711368533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-88407047952187056952015-10-28T23:36:21.627+11:002015-10-28T23:36:21.627+11:00I could never tire of this backing, or your signat...I could never tire of this backing, or your signature binding. This would be a lot of work, and you have to think when you piece those 9 patch blocks. I would like to try one of these.

I arranged ...Hi Sarah - thank you for stopping by!<br /><br />I arranged the large squares first (laid them all out on the floor) on point - leaving a gap in between for the nine-patch block.<br /><br />I try not to over think the arrangement of scrappy fabrics - I honestly don't spend a lot of time re-arranging. I check for any really obvious clashes, and a balance of light/dark, then stand back and take a different perspective, and arrange if need be. If in doubt I'll leave it on the floor for while, glance across as I walk by to see if anything looks out of place, but I generally don't do a lot of re-arranging.<br /><br />Happy Sewing!<br />RitaRed Pepper Quilts - Rita Hodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146251579528285964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-5654418078117345202015-10-28T18:37:45.625+11:002015-10-28T18:37:45.625+11:00Oh, I love this!

It is so nice when you give the measurements. I know it's possible that I could make it that way! I do have many of your patterns and you are so generous. I haven't made any yet but this pattern would make a wonderful 30's quilt which are many of the prints in this quilt. Thank you for being such a great quilter.

I love that there's not much solid fabric - really showcases the prints.<br /> <br />A question regarding your initial layout: Did you determine relative placement of the larger squares before laying out the 9-patches? <br /><br />Well, and another question: Since you have so much experience with scrappy quilts, do you find it easier to get that random/balanced look with each quilt, or does it take about the same amount of fiddling each time?<br /><br />I'm not surprised at all that this was snapped up right away from your easy shop - it's gorgeous!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843160369603526778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-85946423053532289052015-10-28T04:43:08.140+11:002015-10-28T04:43:08.140+11:00What a great quilt!
