Welcome to day two of the Fairy Tales Blog Hop hosted by Joan of Moose Stash Quilting.
Hopefully you are not sick of seeing One Block Wonders, this is my third post in a row with them, but I couldn't resist sewing this panel up for this hop. Unicorns with beautiful colors and a castle glowing in the background... all kind of fairy tale goodness going on here.
I got tired of flipping the ruler back and forth cutting one strip at a time into triangles, so I laid out all my strips and cut them one way then turned the ruler and went back and cut them all the other way.
Made it a wee bit quicker.
I saved the edges of each strip and sewed those together to create even more triangles.
I had over 200 hexagons with the extras I pieced together. I used all but one and a half.
I am loving the colors in some of these blocks!
They didn't all fit on the design board. Had to squeeze everything in.
I love pressing the seams open. Some people press them all one way and then swirl the center, which works too, but I really love this look!
So many fun hexagons in this one. The panel was a wide one, a full 36 inches.
I cut my strips at 3.25 inches. With everything sewn together the top measures approximately 85 x 83 inches. It's a biggie!
Check out the back with all those open seams! Super cool.
Next up for this one is to pick out some backing and get it quilted!

ReplyDeleteI'm a day late popping in, but just wanted to say I love your OBW unicorn quilt! I had a thing for unicorns in my teens and early 20's.
ReplyDeleteI'm late, I'm late for
A very important date.
No time to say hello, good-bye,
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late
I'm late and when I wave,
I lose the time I save.
My fuzzy ears and whiskers
Took me too much time to shave.
I run and then I hop, hop, hop,
I wish that I could fly.
There's danger if I dare to
Stop and here's a reason why:
I'm over-due, I'm in a rabbit stew.
Can't even say good-bye,
Hello, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.
This is just an amazing quilt! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful OBW. The panel is just incredible. I love even the back with your seams pressed open.
