I am on my way to completing gift quilts for the bridesmaids. One has been gifted to the maid of honor, one is at the longarm quilter in Kansas, and one will be on its way.
For this project, I utilized a full Riley Blake National Parks panel. This fabric grouping has been in my stash for a few years. Why reinvent the wheel? This also fits into bridesmaid Haley's outdoorsy interests of camping and dirt biking.
I trimmed and sashed up the X blocks. Then I hated it. ASR (angry seam ripping) ensued. I knew better than to try and sew the blocks in sections rather than singly. Another project abandoned. Gonna thrift them back. This is the second attempt to spin something wonderful from these blocks.
Two months to go until the wedding day, and there is time to make the plaid quilts. Here is my tub-full of plaid fabric from my offsite storage.
Gonna call these quick and dirty quilts, I will match up the plaids in the same colorway and cut squares to either 6 or 8 inches.
After all of the bridal party gift quilts are completed, I will post the entire collection.
