Is it just me or does this block remind you of old-school Tron? Or HAL from 2020?

Anyhow…a few months ago I joined Bre’s Quilt Along with her first pattern called Rough Diamond Quilt. It was a fun take on the log cabin block, with great color placement.

16 blocks and bam you get this beauty!

Can we talk about my love of the HST? I am sure I have spoken about it before, but if the pattern is full of HST I am in. I am not great at sitting still and meditating is almost impossible for me. But creating and trimming HST is so soothing, and is how I relax…well that and drink wine!

@squats_and_runningstitches designed this pattern, I am still in awe of how these designers find new ways to layout the HST and turn it into something new.

Sigh…it’s so pretty!

Backyard party quilt sal hosted by Then Came June https://garlandgirlquilts.com/backyard-party-quilt-sal-hosted-by-then-came-june/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=backyard-party-quilt-sal-hosted-by-then-came-june https://garlandgirlquilts.com/backyard-party-quilt-sal-hosted-by-then-came-june/#respond Sun, 19 Sep 2021 06:22:00 +0000 https://garlandgirlquilts.com/?p=471 I have been saving/collecting this fabric for just the right pattern, and I think I found it.

Once everything got cut, I organized each block. Side note, those baby clips I am using in this picture are game-changers. You really need to go to your LQS and pick some up.

Over four weeks, we made a total of 20 blocks.

I am going to take a moment, and fangirl over these fabrics. Damn, they are pretty!!!!!

Here is the link to the pattern

It always amazed me how quilt designers find new ways to use the HST. Geese!

It’s really just four huge blocks put together, that make an amazing design.

See what I mean? There is a whole different pattern once you put the four blocks together.

Camp Fire Glow aka the story of the purple fabric https://garlandgirlquilts.com/camp-fire-glow-aka-the-story-of-the-purple-fabric/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=camp-fire-glow-aka-the-story-of-the-purple-fabric https://garlandgirlquilts.com/camp-fire-glow-aka-the-story-of-the-purple-fabric/#respond Sun, 15 Aug 2021 14:59:00 +0000 https://garlandgirlquilts.com/?p=428

So I bought 12 yards of this purple fabric, yep 12 yards. Why 12 yards? Well you see, I bought 4 yards of the same fabric 3 times. My only excuse is there was wine involved with internet shopping. FYI this fabric is called “vivid violet” by Bella Solids. My goal for the year is to use all 12 yards, yep all 12 yards of barney purple.

This Spring Meagan at Then Came June had a quilt along for her newest pattern, called Camp Fire Glow. I knew I was going to start to use that purple!

First came the 9 patches!

Then more 9 patches 🙂

I couldn’t bring myself to use the purple in the stars.

But for my first go at using up my purple, it came out really well.
