Tish from Tish’s Adventures in Wonderland
revealed the design for the Fireburst Mystery Quilt last week so the top of I’ve been working on can be
put together. This is it as of the weekend when I took some photos of my
progress. I put mine together in an alternative way to the instructions and I
ended up with quarters that then need the central strip between them.
There’s still plenty of time to make one before the final round-up on New Year’s Eve. A list of all the different instructions can be found from this page. Naturally Tish has made umpteen different versions of this quilt so there’s plenty of inspiration.
Earlier this year I put my hand up to become part of a team to work on a Quiltcon charity quilt. The theme this year is small piecing (less than 1”) and we need to make a twin size quilt minimum 65” by 88”. This is the colour palette everyone is using.

Pretty!
I’m in a group of 4 (eeeek!) and since one of
our group is going to be doing the quilting that leaves 3 of us to do the
piecing. We’ve had some communication problems, or lack of communication
problems, that meant there was little brainstorming done at the design stage
and a quick decision needed to be made so we went with doing a sampler using
traditional blocks. I was able to talk the others into using very wide solid
borders so that means each of us is making four 15” sections.
I’ve been putting together blocks to be made
into sections later. This is what I’ve made so far (excuse all the dangling threads).
A hovering
hawk
A block that was called the Amish block on
Pinterest
I’ve put together four crosses and losses
blocks to make ‘one’ because by this stage I was starting to look for quicker
cheats to fill the space.
I have plans to turn these small plusses and 9 patches into one large section.

And a winged square because I could use the 8
at a time HST method by making it in two colours.

So many cute blocks! Your Fireburst quilt is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your Fireburst all put together! It's looking so good. And bless your heart with all those tiny bocks. Tiny blocks are adorable, but man, can be a pain to put together.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, you've been busy! Beautiful blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love your Fireburst with its' scrappy low volume background. The little blocks are all really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is an eye candy post! All those beautiful blocks!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for working on the small piecing theme for the QuiltCon charity quilt this year; I look forward to seeing how your collaborative quilt comes together. And your Fireburst quilt blocks look lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely blocks for your QuiltCon quilt Sue, I especially like the hovering hawk and winged square blocks. For some reason I have been having trouble commenting on your blog but I think it's me, I am managing today on the laptop.
