DESIGN WALL MONDAY - 1/21/13
Check out all of us who link up with Judy L. at Patchwork Times on Mondays.
We have some awesome stuff on our walls!
Well, THEY do - ME - not so much sometimes - ;))
===

I’m still working on my version of “Easy Street” -
Bonnie Hunter’s Easy Street Mystery Quilt - HERE -

I call mine "Easy Street Detour" - ;))

============
Note - these instructions are written in LEFTISH.
If you are right-handed - just reverse the directions.
============

I finished the 64 Turkey Combos - HERE -

Then I played with the 4-Patch Combos -

My version of Block B needs 9 sets of 4 -

Assembly line -
Sewed the 4-patch to the chocolate square -
In sets of 8 -

With the square on the bottom -
And the 4-Patch on top -
With the “constant” leading -

Made the 4-Patch Combos -
In sets of 4 -

Mine are a little matchy-matchy -
I was limited in my “backgrounds” in the beginning -
Not knowing where the mystery would end -
And not knowing that I would run out of “backgrounds” -
More than once - ;))

Anyway -

Got them all sewn together and then I made 3 piles -

Column A - 9 sets of 4 - 4-Patch Combos -
Column B - 9 sets of 4 - Turkey Combos -
Column C - 9 center squares

Then I chose my sets -
Just like from a Chinese restaurant menu -

One from Column A -
One from Column B -
One from Column C -

And I made a Block B -
As nothing more than a giant 9-patch -

And - because I watched the orientation of the 4-Patches -
When I made the 4-Patch Combos earlier -
As long as I keep a Square in the corner -
My Block B will have the 4-Patches going the “correct” way - ;))

Now I just have to make 9 of them -

Then I'll move on to the Block A “combos” -

I’m leaving the setting triangles and corners for last -

I have an idea for the borders that may or may not work -

So I want/need to play a little in EQ7 first - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
