I do like random quilts, but I'm not capable of making one, I think because I approach quilting mathematically. So I have discovered a way (and an easy way at that) of making a random top: I made up 27 squares all at 6.5 inches. Some were just one fabric, a few were HSTs, a few were pinwheels, a few were 9 patches, and a few other ideas got chucked in too.
I made up larger 9 patches, using the pieced squares in the 4 corners, and the plainer pieces as the 5 that make up the +
And then I can put the back together and I have a random quilt, or an Orphan D9P
Hopefully tomorrow all 12 new blocks will be stitched together - with quilting on Thursday, binding on Friday, and delivery on Saturday . . . isn't working to a deadline fun?
Well done you! This will look lovely, and I'm sure that it will be well received!
