2015 Quilt #3 Started

It’s already February and I’m just starting my third quilt for the year and the second one barely counts since it’s a block of the week and I’ve only made one block!  The new start is the cover quilt from Scrap-Basket Beauties and is called Hourglass. 

SBB cover

My small quilting group is working through the quilts in this book and this is our February project.  It’s been awhile since I’ve made a quilt from the book and I kind of like this one so now it’s a work in progress. 

The cutting instructions in the book are written for 2-1/2” strips and seem to be a little fussy and wasteful so I plan to try a little different piecing method.  The book has you sew strip sets of a print fabric with a background, tape a template to the back of a ruler and cut each pair individually.  My idea is to use 3-1/2” strips and tape a single unit template to the back of a ruler like this:

Hourglass ruler

This way I can cut several layers at once, which seems like a good idea since I need 396 of these units; half from prints and half from black background.

Time to get back to cutting!

    I laughed when I read your first sentence. It should say, “I’m already starting my third quilt.” Very good accomplishment. =)
