| 1/8" pebbles. |
Recap..... The original quilt I used as inspiration was designed by my friend Jamie Mueller, visit her blog at Sunflower Seeds. Her quilt was originally named "Master Carpenter's Square" (available at Sunflower Quilts)
So, because I never play totally by the rules, I made a few changes. I love it, Jamie loves it, and that is really all that counts... but, I hope you like it also and OK, the judges too. The colored squares and background squares measure 1/2" x 1/2" and the brown squares are 1" x 1". The quilt finished at 24" x 24".

| All those little pieces became..... |
 |
| A Quilt Top 24x24 I added 7" corner squares for negative space. And the fun begins... Quilting! |
The idea was to keep it Modern, so some pebbles and LOTS of Ruler work.
Lines, straight and curved and crossed.
 |
| A little checkerboard never hurts. |
 |
| Crossed design in each 1/2" square repeated in 1" square, sort of. |
 |
| Large (7"x7" lol) negative space filled with 1/8" lines. And then on to those colored squares..... |
Tiny 1/2" circles in each square using my new favorite ruler by Dusty Farrell, available at Country Stitchin. Then each color's circles were filled different. BUT, I did not take a picture of the finished quilt! Since it had a deadline to be mailed, I pulled an all-nighter to get it finished. Around 6:45AM it was done. 2 hours sleep and off to UPS to ship to MQS show in Wichita. So, I now have to wait till Wednesday, April 2 to see it. If you happen to be in Wichita next week, come check out the show!
Happy /Quilting!
