I think with the grid pattern in the background, it looks a lot like a gyroscope, so that's what I'm calling it! The blocks are 13 inches, with 2 inch sashing. The cutting and piecing on these is a bit time consuming, but definitely worth it!

Gyroscope Quilt
I'm taking full advantage of the long weekend and getting in lots of sewing time. I've always loved Rolling Stone quilt blocks. There are lots of variations of this block, but I have not seen a quilt that connects them together. So, I modified some of the measurements and sketched it out.

Love the cheerful effect the quilt creates. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI often have to find ways to connect blocks too. Love what you came up with.
ReplyDeleteI love the way they connect! Your fabric choices are amazing, Love everything about it.
ReplyDeleteLove the way the chevrons worked on their block! It think it adds some movement to the quilt and adds to the gyroscope theme. How are you going to quilt this one? Maybe a swirl is in order? Best, Kate

ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Kelly! Your fabric choices really sing. I've never seen this block before, but I really like it -- the quilt top feels very fresh and fun. Any thoughts on how you'll be quilting it?
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! The amount of time it takes you to make a new quilt never ceases to amaze me. Even though you've told me how you manage it, I'm still secretly thinking that you've figured out how to squeeze in more than 24 hours in each day. :)
