Hello, happy Tuesday to you all!
I started a new scrappy quilt over the weekend. I've wanted to give Katie's value quilt a try for such a long time. Really, every time I make a list of quilts I'd like to make her value zig zag is among the first ones I write down.

I'm using 5" squares to make these blocks and I love how easy and effortless they are. And then it's time to trim and there's absolutely nothing easy and effortless about that :( Trimming the blocks is such a tedious task, but the result is a perfectly square quilt so I make myself do it.
I've been trimming my blocks while watching TV, going pretty slow, giving my fingers and wrists plenty of breaks.
So far I have about 150 blocks all sewn and trimmed - I'm about half way there as I'd like this quilt to finish at 72" x 72", my favorite size right now. It's perfect for my little peeps' snuggling.
I'm curious, do you have a "bucket" list of quilts you'd like to make? Do tell.

I am really liking this quilt. Yes, trimming the HST is NOT fun, but sure makes matching intersections nice.
ReplyDeleteI trim too as I went them all exactly the same size! Yes I keep a list, mostly in my head....
ReplyDeleteIt is looking wonderful, great colors!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. My sizzix hst die means no trimming needed = bliss!! My complete pinterest board is my bucket list!! jxo
ReplyDeleteI want to make a red and beige quilt some day...
ReplyDeleteThis looks great so far! Good for you for trimming all those HSTs. (I hardly have the patience!) The most recent addition to my quilting bucket list is a Rocky Mountain Puzzle quilt. Erica at Kitchen Table Quilting has been showing pictures of hers, and I've become obsessed! One of these days.... -(charlottesgraceforacure@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're off to a good start! I too have a list - more of a spreadsheet actually.
ReplyDeleteIt has four parts:
1. In progress
2. Fabric+Idea+Pattern (basically I have everything but need to start it)
3. Fabric+Idea (I make all my patterns, so that's what I need to do to get this one moved up)
4. Idea+some fabric
And then there's the vague list of "oh that might be fun/nice/exciting to do" which is really
5. Idea Only
Good luck with your list!.
Krasne, Svetlanko! Tak si myslim, ze to budu muset take vyzkouset! :) Opravdu super! J.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt! And it would be a perfect project to use up leftover charm squares to make. What is the finished size of the hst squares?
ReplyDeleteI have a loose list in my head: swoon, red and white, churn dash, a triangle quilt, flea market fancy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's more, I really should write them down
My bucket list is a mile long! Where to start .... Although I love this scrappy quilt, I can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteBucket list - mine is more like a swimming pool full - maybe that is why I struggle to get things finished. I have too many ideas to start with! Gorgeous fabrics in your zig-zag!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a fantastic quilt. You did a lot of work over the weekend!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful with great colours and Fabrics!
ReplyDeleteIt's SO worth the trimming! This is beautiful, S!
ReplyDeleteBucket list...there's one MASSIVE project on that list and it scares me...a DWR. Some day, my friend. Some day.
Lovely fabrics - will be fun to see your finished design :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! My list consists of patterns of my own I've been too lazy to get round to or to finish lol I really do want to get my Tula Pink ones done this year, but then I said that last year. And the year before *ahem*
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt!! I've been working on a 1-inch hexie quilt in the evenings, and just cut the templates for a Single Girl. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks fab already! I have a bucket list, but I've never actually written it down. Maybe I should.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Love your colors!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start!! I love your fabric matches :)
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteMy bucket list includes fabric buckets, unsurprisingly! Oh and practically every quilt and cushion I see!
Really fun, I love the value play.
