I was looking up some strip quilting patterns and found this fun video The Three Dudes Quilt: Easy Quilting with Rob Appell of Man Sewing and Jenny Doan of MSQC - so decided to embark on my own version using some vintage fabrics (the white fabric with blue plums is still leftover from my grandmother's stash, origin unknown, could have been from her friend Ruth's house). Here are some pictures from the steps:
STEP 1: Select Fabrics for Strip Quilt Project
Curated Strip Options for Quilt
STEP 2: Two sets of strip trios sewn together
STEP 3: 9 Strips sewn together
View of work area:
STEP 4: Laying out the 9-strip squares to sew before cutting again
Blocks that will be 1/4 of each super block
View of 1/4 blocks laid together for 2 super blocks
All these blocks were done in June 2022 - and I didn't assemble them for a few months due to work:
April 2023 - laid out:
Finally in August 2023 - assembled the blocks together into the top (with Simón supervising):
