A new quilt or two

Several months ago (February I think) I posted about the start of Sixth Time’s the Charm quilt by AMH in her Handmade Beginnings book. Well, I just barely finished it a couple of weeks ago. It took me that long. Originally I had planned on making two of them, but there was a typo in the book and I couldn’t figure out how to cut out the hexagon with my lame math skills. Luckily I stumbled upon this blog post from somebody who had the same problem. In the comments form, Anna Marie posted the correction to the pattern. Not only did this pattern hurt my brain, but it produced way more scraps than I could ever use. And you know me and scraps…I keep every itty bitty piece.

I absolutely love how this quilt turned out. But I will never make it again.

 

Instead, poor baby #2 gets this strip quilt that I whipped up in two days.

    Love it! You have always been so talented and crafty. My mother in law is also into sewing, quilting, knitting, crafting, etc. She is a great teacher, so that some day, I will be as awesome as you! :) Your quilts are fabulous!
