Week 2: Heather Ross Quilt Along

Ready to sew! Last week I got all my fabrics cut for the Heather Ross Quilt Along. Week 2 is for assembling the first row (so, 5 blocks). I am using the tutorial for the Boxed In quilt from Freckled Whimsy for my quilt. I sewed the strip on the top and bottom of the 5″ square, then sewed on the sides. Since each of those 4 strips are different sizes, I chose them in random orders so all the squares don’t look the same.

Since I am not sure of the layout of the blocks yet, I am going to wait until assembly is finished to start sewing the blocks together in rows.

I was nervous about using solids for the outside of my squares, but I think it’s really coming together! I can’t wait to get more done!

    Wow! I must admit I was a little skeptical when I saw your stack of solids on Flickr, since I’ve really only seen Munki quilts with pastel borders. But these blocks look AMAZING! Didn’t you say you were doing 42 blocks?

    I was just looking through some of my fabric, stumbled on the HR stuff I thought I had lost (YAY!), and remembered I hadn’t seen an update on this in a while. How’s it coming?
