I know this post is a little later than normal, but we are going to ignore the computer issues that plagued me this morning and dive right on in!
It's all good - because today I am releasing the printable PDF pattern for Rocky Road to Grayson - a delightful mix of string piecing combined with sashing, stars and nine-patches!
August and September are just perfect for Sunflower Yellow!
Drawing to happen Friday, August 27th, 2021!
All the scrappy bits!
I pre-pieced these on triangles cut from phone book paper.
You watched as I made these triangles from the smallest of scraps! And the PDF pattern for Rocky Road to Grayson contains not just ONE method for making the blocks, but THREE - so you can choose which method works the best for you, whether you are working from small saved pieces, or are hankering to speedily strip sew.
I chose scrappy vintage looking yellow prints for my backgrounds -
But you can use ANY color you wish. You don't even have to go scrappy here - choose one piece of yardage in a color or neutral that make your colored scraps shine!
This quilt was so much fun to make!
I used the Creative Grids 45 degree ruler to trim my string pieced units.
I printed my block quarter templates on Carol Doak’s Foundation Paper.
Are you excited to dive in??

Last night's stitching -
I finished the binding on the Wrong Way Round quilt - all that is left now is the hanging sleeve and label. Which frees me up to load that recently un-quilted monstrosity back onto the longarm.
Not sure I want to do it! Maybe I'll take this rainy day to do some piecing with some binging of something on Netflix??
How is your Tuesday shaping up for you?

Thank you Bonnie for all you do for us! We love and appreciate you too!
ReplyDeleteWe appreciate you too, Bonnie! So very much. When I couldn’t be with my friends and was hanging out at home, I looked forward to your daily blogs read during my morning coffee. Thank you for your upbeat posts, your patterns and for joining me daily to drink coffee, 😊
ReplyDeleteI knew you were having troubles because the photo appeared (LOVELY) but then no blog for over an hour, and I was sending you positive vibes across the internet waves, LOL! I just finished the last of my Box Kite blocks, and am headed over to church where there's table space to lay them out. Woo-HOOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting together fabric that makes it easy for us to quilt. Don’t have to leave the house to buy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyful quilt! Every time I look at it, I'm reminded of a piñata for some reason. My mind adds tassels on the tips of all your points!!
ReplyDeleteI have found that almost all quilters are giving people but you are exceptional! I start out every morning with your blog, even before eating. I love your scrappy encouragement. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank You Bonnie, for EVERYTHING You do! Cotton to quilts does have a great assortment of colorful rolls, and neutrals. That sunny Yellow bundle may just be another one I will have to buy.
ReplyDeleteNo sun here today, wet and damp after raining all night. But, luckily it isn't raining now.

Thank you for your daily blog! I haven't missed a day since the pandemic lock-down started! You are keeping me going.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie for all you do, we enjoy & appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to give away a pattern for the winner and a friend. My Quilt Buddy has an antique version of this quilt. We would love to remake it with your pattern. I've never WON on your giveaways. I think it's my turn.
