I am completely and totally not in the mood to go trick or treating in the rain with my boys tonight. I'd rather be pulling more fabric for this project --
The pattern is Stairsteps by Jo of Jo's Country Junction and this is exactly my kind of quilt. I can do everything except for the solid red from my stash (and, considering the amount of solid red I bought and re-bought because I really want to make Scrap Vomit -- which isn't even online anymore, I could probably have done the red from stash too.)
I think this is going to be a long term project, even if I make my quilt smaller than Jo made hers. That's an awful lot of triangles!

That's one of my favorite Kramer quilts, too. Great use for those little calicoes. You need to set yourself up to do HSTs as leader/enders while making your stripsets. OR start another quilt with red snowball corners and double stitch them for bonus triangles. I'll check back with you next Halloween ...
ReplyDeletePretty☺ have a lovely day ♥
ReplyDeleteYou could adjust the sizes to be bigger. Then the quilt can still be a good size without as many pieces/blocks.
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on this quilt also, but I'm not sure I have the stamina to make all those HST's--lol!
