Spoolin' quilt - 4 rows


Had some time to work on an ongoing probably forever spool quilt which has 3 1/2 inch units. I really love quilts that have so many scrap pieces rather than the easy do-in-one day quilts. I like innovative methods but get tired of the nondescript trend that seems to be the current fad. These are really good if you are making tons of quilts to give away. Back to my Spoolin' quilt-- Spoolin' has so many seams, the seams are all pressed open which is time consuming. There are 162 - 6 1/2 inch unfinished blocks which are made up of 4 - 3 1/2 inch spool units. I am not even counting the 4 patch border units yet. I have 4 on-point rows done with end triangles and a long way to go--I think 18 rows. The second picture is the pressed open seams.

Bonnie Hunter designed this quilt, but it is a very old pattern.
