Chimneys and Cornerstones, Clean Drawers,

Yes, this starts as Chimneys and Cornerstones -- the dark blue are the cornerstones.  This was a fun quilt, fast and easy.  16 blocks, makes about 58" x 58".  Dh and I saw something like this and worked many hours, with protractor, angles, existing templates and rulers to try and figure it out.  No luck.  Thanks to YouTube and Eleanor Burns, she has a ruler! 

 

I just happened to have all the fabric I needed, in my stash.  8-))  

 

 White was quilted in swirls, lightest blue in circles (cobblestones), going around 2 times, dark blue in question mark thingies, darkest floral in a paisley.  Cornerstones were left unquilted.

Above, circles in the dark blue border, and big floppy hearts in widest border.  (It IS square.)

Next ... Early March ... amazing!

I have more stash in other places, but at least THIS PLACE is tidy.  8-)))  





Secret to "What the Heck"

This is where I "found" the secret design instructions to my previous 2 posts.  The first time I saw it, was on a QOV site, where someone had made one to donate, but had no description. 

Go to You Tube, Eleanor Burns (Quilt in a Day)  Chimneys and Cornerstones, the one that is over one hour long.  Go to about the middle of the video and watch from there.  Of course there is a ruler, and pattern.  The ruler comes with a simpler pattern, but I ordered an extra pattern.  It's called "wonky" something or other.   The ruler is big - needs to be as it has slits in it. 

Good luck! 

Valentines, and What the Heck?

Delivered while I was still in my jammies, bare feet, no Revlon, no toothbrushed teeth - I tell ya, I was gorgeous!  8-)))

This gift was hidden -- had to search for it -- took me 2 days to find because DH has hidden it among my UFOs, layers of fabric, quilt stand with 5 quilts on it, .... you know how that is.  This rose will last - it's  beautiful, sitting on an antique stand.  Needs a prettier home.  

What is that? 

Yep -- Chimneys and Cornerstones but all whacked up.   

 Look what happened?

This time, I'm not telling how.  8-)))  Coool, huh???
