When I finished the top I called Animal Crackers the other day I mentioned in my blog post that as I was cutting pieces for that quilt I went ahead and cut additional 2.5 inch strips for use in a different block. That block is a 30 patch. I was inspired by Gretchen's (Gretchen's Little Corner) quilt she called Modern Amish and by Nann's (With Strings Attached) 30 patch quilt. Both quilts were inspired by a quilt called Sound Check by John Kubiniec (McCall's, March/April 2014).
I'll be using solids and animal themed fabrics to make my blocks.
I have two blocks made and strips sewn together for several more.
My OMG (One Monthly Goal) for September is to complete a total of 42 blocks for a 6x7 layout that will measure 60 x 84.
I'll give myself a pat on the back, extra bonus points and a smiley face if I also get the top completed. This is going to be a busy month for me and I'm not sure I'll have all that much time left to sew. Time will tell.
A clever idea for Animal Crackers Part 2. I’m sure you’ll achieve your goal by the end of September.
