Time to make another quilt from Simply Retro! I love this quilt block, but the quilt in the book had each individual block at 16". Ending up with a very large quilt. I wanted to use my fat eighth bundle of Tiger Lily fabric, but didn't want a queen size quilt, so I downsized the blocks by half.
This block is now more like 8". I'll give you my measurements when I post about the finished quilt.
Also, FabricSpark has some great fabrics on clearance, and you can take off an additional 20% with the code big deal!

Look forward to your final post. Re-sizing this has been on my mind as I wanted to be able to resize the quilt and maintain the beauty.
ReplyDeleteI love your fanric choices!
ReplyDeleteAnd I also look forward to you finishing this quilt (no pressure)
That's so beautiful! The pattern and the fabrics work well together:-)

ReplyDeleteGreat idea about reducing the block size to use your bundle!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I haven't finished my sweet life - it is such a pretty block but it is turning out ginormous. I like your version

ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I may have to look into purchasing the book just for this quilt.
ReplyDeleteI just sewed a top in Tiger Lily this past week. Waiting on some backing to arrive to finish it up! Looking forward to seeing your quilt...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just love the tiger lily fabric and I can't wait to see how this progresses.
ReplyDeleteI cant describe how beautiful they are looking. I am feeling like my eyes and vision have been stopped at them. I don't want to see anything while watching them. Loving this post
