What a Load a Scrap: Mountain Trail

Mountain Trail

Mountain Trails little quilt top is completed. I reduced Lori's pattern from 20 to 12 blocks. This is a more usable size for my doll beds. Lots of fun to sew, even though I had to work on my 1/4" a bit due to cutting lengths of strips beforehand. This is a method I've not used before, and it certainly creates accuracy. I've been on a doll, or little, quilt roll lately, and many other bloggers appear to be also. Thanks for another fun quilt-along, Lori!

Judy Hansen said...: Your fabrics are beautiful! I didn't cut my fabrics accurately before adding them - just squared up the block when it was finished, and that kept it easier to do. Your blog is one of my favorites.; October 30, 2012 at 5:18 PM
Shirley said...: All the little quilts are fabulous and I discovered that my machine stitching needs a lot of practice but I would say yours looks pretty neat.; October 30, 2012 at 5:32 PM
