Hand Pieced Quilt Along..... A flimsy top!

I finished the hand piecing of the last few sashings yesterday. I did much better when I cut the strips to size rather than adding a little extra. I 'might' take 2 rows out and restitch...... we will see how it looks after I press it. As you can see on the pre-press photo, Peanut had to inspect it.


Linking up my hand pieced flimsy with the Hand Pieced Quilt Along! Head on over and check out some awesome hand pieced quilts. A big thank you to Patty from Elmstreetquilts.com and Kristin from Simple, Handmade. Everyday. 

Edited: I made 2 of each of the blocks to get 18 blocks for this setting. I used 9 3/4 squares cut twice on the diagonal for the setting triangles and 5 1/8 squares cut once on the diagonal for the corners. For the 1.5 inch sashing rows - I think I had 2 at 20 inches, 2 at 33 inches and one at 40 inches. The quilt measures about 28.5x39. This is pressed and hanging on the wall. I need to add a wee little white piece to the bottom right hand side to square it up then time to pin for hand quilting.

Very pretty quilt top. The blues are so nice. You made more than nine blocks, which is amazing.

Yes, I made two of each block to get 18 blocks for this setting. I knew I wanted mine a bit bigger than the 9 blocks.

I've been looking forward to seeing these blocks pieced and I'm not disappointed.
