Here's the Echo Patchwork Quilt Top, I've been working on. I used about 1/2 of each FQ included in the Echo FQ bundle, and 16 different solids. This is how I made this quilt top:
- I cut six 5" square from each FB, and four 5" squares from each solid.
- I then randomly paired and sew together one solid to one print. I had lots of prints left over.
- I decided on a 12x14 layout, and sorted the pairs and singles into 14 sets. This was my way of keeping it random.
- I then took each set and arranged the pieces into one long strip; making 14 rows.
- I rearranged rows, until I had a pleasing layout. Then sewed the rows together.
I really like how it turned out. Now, I'm gonna work on the back.
May your bobbins always be full,
This turned out great, Jan! I love the lavenders, teals and greys with the splash of orange and yellows! It's awesome!
