Please remember, all quilt blogging and photos now posting at: www.truenorthquilter.blogspot.com
Simply, another photo of the baby quilt. I won't have time to work on it at all in the next twenty-four hours, I have made plans to get something else done and to run a few errands, but here it is, as is, for the time being.
The patches go together very quickly, so the assembly should be a snap - aside from the matching of the points on all of those triangles - ay carumba! There are two main block components for an Ocean Waves; a series of four by four rows of triangles, containing 32 pieces, and the large center square on point, with triangle corners (these blocks consist of 17 pieces each). It can add up to an awful lot of triangles, squares, half squares and quarter squares cut and pieced by the time it is all together. The piecing has to be tight and consistant, and the seaming and pressing must be done without stretching the bias cut side of the pieces, or else, you can have one rippled quilt top when it comes time to quilt.
More later. Have a colorful day!
