| Fig Tree's Tapestry layer cake and Kona Bone, Stone, and Sand to make HSTs. |
 |
| 3 different light Bella solids for first border, meant to mimic the tone on tones in the HSTs. I was going to use a Tapestry print as a 2nd interior border between the light bordered blocks, but thankfully before I cut into the fabric I saw and was inspired by Square Dance by A Little Bit Biased and voila! Just did a little math to determine the width of the light solid spacers and went to work on it. |
Still need to make and add the outer, blocked sashing. And maybe another border or two... But it is almost done.
 |
| Stitched together jelly roll strips and 1.5" Bella Solids Porcelain strips to created blocked sashing. |

Wow, that really looks great. I'm afraid that "dreaded math" would have given me a hard time, but I guess I would have eventually figured it out. Way to go!!
Thank you!
Regarding the math: You could do it! I knew I would make the squared sashing using Tapestry jelly roll strips cut into 2 1/2" squares (2" finished), so I just sketched out the block and discovered how many light spacers I would need and divided that into the remainder of length.

You should do a pattern for this. It's just beautiful.
Oh my. Thank you. What could be better than a gorgeous collection such as Tapestry by Fig Tree Quilts?
I guess I could try to do a tutorial? I will have to study how others present tutorials. Tremble, tremble.

Oh, I really like this a lot! Is this a pattern or just you being super creative? I also like the quilt in the post before this too. Great job! K-
Thank you, Kristy. Well, the initial intention of the quilt was to just do the pinwheels. But the Kona solids I had used did not make the Tapestry "pop!" so then I added the thin light borders. That still wasn't "it" so... as I was reading my bloglovin' feed the next morning I saw a quilt called Square Dance. And knew that was the look I wanted. I did a little sketched out mock up and some rudimentary math and voila!
