moving on with sea swept

I have all the snails trail blocks finished for sea swept. And it was time to figure out how I was going to make the sashings without a pattern. The actual pattern is for paper piecing, and my blocks are machine pieced and larger than the pattern makes.

Linda's 3 and mine

I remembered a template I have from studio 180 and I could even find it... hooray. But, I wasn't sure how to make it a double square in a square. You tube told me,   I needed the technique sheet with a chart. While I was purchasing, I watched how to make winding ways? and I thought I would buy the diamond rects as well.




So, I have started cutting

And this is all the easy breezy blocks I made last week. Far from my intended goal of 2 per day.

    I'm looking forward to seeing how your Sea Swept turns out. I'm planning to make a similar quilt but I've been struggling to find the perfect fabrics.
