Hey June, one year later

 Gudrun of GE Designs ran this day long quilt along last June 2021. I didn’t get around to participating, but decided to give it a try before the year was up.  Rows laid out ready to sew  will have a border  sure needs a pop of color, but now that I know now how it goes together, I’d like to try some jazzy fabrics, same with the Strip Tease pattern,  it seems to take me a test run before I get how it’s constructed!  Perhaps I’m too old to do this anymore, but why do I keep buying fabric!!

Here it is sewn together with the border.  Pink flamingos!  Ready to quilt and donate!

Strip Tease

 This is now put together, might add a border. Such a sweet little quilt!

Did add a border…ready to quilt!

Clue 1 and 2

 I had originally intended this quilt to be scrappy. But I didn’t like how it looked so rearranged what I had to be matching and redoing a few squares. Now I like how it looks. I’m going to wait for the last clue although I could go ahead and sew it together 

Strip Tease 2.0 quilt along

 Following Gudrun from GE Design, started making the first step..block one.  The dark strip will all be in a horizontal position. Wondering how this is going to work out!

Well I figured out all the things I did wrong. Maybe I’m too old for new designs!  But all is not lost, just have to rip out and resew some squares. Here’s what it should look like with block 1 and block 2
