KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE MY BLOW DRYER RUN!

Ahead Of The Crowd





I am sure by now you have seen this all over blog land. It is the trip round the world pattern by Bonnie Hunter. This past fall I took this workshop with her. I came to the workshop late and as a result did not sew but soaked up the fun and energy in the room.




Once I saw how fast, fun and easy this block was to make I knew this was on the "list". Again my colors don't look correct all that orange you see is red. I have decided to have a little red and black in each block. There is no placement of fabrics, anything goes.
The blocks are also big, 12". I am thinking a bed size quilt.




It works perfectly with jelly rolls....you use 2 1/2" strips.





Or you could work on cleaning off your shelves. Either way it is a stash buster! I am also thinking, soldier quilts, baby quilts ( you could change the size of the strips too) and charity quilts. It's that fast.

  2. Yay!! I love your combo! I've ended up with a top of 56 blocks, 8x7 rows. I'm like you. I kept think how versatile this pattern is.
