Things are happening a little slow around here with the next project. I did however get my HSTs pressed and cut into 4" squares, which took a lot longer than I expected. If those squares are out there is no hope I'll end up with the quilt I'm hoping for so everything is crossed!
Now I just need to get them to the sewing machine!!
And this is what I'm hoping to accomplish.
This is my very rough sketch and how I've worked out how much fabric and
HSTs I was going to need. I think it's one of those things that only
makes sense to you :)
I decided I liked the colours from the top drawing so my solids are fairly close to this. I also decided after looking at the drawing that it didn't look quite right with ending the chevron on the down so I have added another column on the end.
Hopefully I'll get some good progress on this over the weekend.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

ReplyDeleteThis'll look so great! I applaud you taking on all those HSTs! I love the look of them but gosh it's a hassle squaring them all up!
ReplyDeletelove it!! Making a rainbow chevron quilt is on my "I would like to do" list.
ReplyDeleteOh even the sketch is looking awesome! I look forward to seeing the finished rainbow quilt! It will be terrific!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be great :) Gotta love rainbows
ReplyDeleteLove the colours. It´s going to be a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love your drawing! Good luck getting it done. I am supposed to make a Christmas chevron quilt, but I'm just not feeling it anymore (probably the daunting task of trimming all the HSTs).
ReplyDeleteIm lookig forward to next steps, the design is really great.
ReplyDeleteOooooh great drawing. I am sure the quilt will be even better.
ReplyDeletePretty HSTs! Your graph-paper renditions are lovely, mine tend to be lots of messy scribbles :)
ReplyDeleteYour sketch looks great. As will your quilt! I love the colors you selected! I've been wanting to make a Chevron quilt! Visiting from WIP Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I also draft up sketched for my quilts that must look like gibberish and insane scramblings to everyone else.
