Easter Eggs Galore Plus Baby T Play Time

4/4/2015

 

Baby T

Jos Little Women Club
Baby T from Internet (I lost the source of this one).
Jos Little Women Club
Four Seaon Quilt Shop, Maple Grove MN Sample
I was at Heritage Club last week at Four Season's Quilt Shop in Maple Grove and we received a pattern from Jo's Little Women Club 13 called Baby T.   I went home and did an internet search to see if I could find a few of the finished quilts to gain other ideas on fabric placement.  The search was pretty much a bust.
I then decided it might be just as easy to draft this in Electric Quilt so I could play with my own fabric collection.  Do you ever redraft patterns to play with fabric choices, size or layout?  

I decided to work with browns, reds and backgrounds.

Baby T in EQ. Finished size of 18" x 22"
Each block in this quilt finishes 3-3/4" x 3-3/4".  I think that just adds to the "cuteness" factor.

As I was redrafting the block, I also realized that the corners in each block were the same unit I used in "It's A Mystery".  Even more exciting is that I could piece them using the same technique that I used in the pattern -- over-sized units that I cut down with the Tucker Trimmer.

Now these units are a lot smaller (1-1/2" x 1-1/2" finished size) compared to those in It's A Mystery.  Here is the size to cut the strips if you have the pattern and want to try the units on a smaller scale.

  • Narrow strips (Medium I) (background in Baby T) 1-1/2" x 7"
  • Wide strips (Dark A) (red/brown in Baby T) 2-1/2" x 7"
  • Rectangles (Background M) (background in Baby T) 2-1/2" x 3-1/2"

Sub-cut the strips 1-1/2".  And trim up the final units to 2" x 2" using the Tucker Trimmer.

Here is my pieced top -- still in need of quilting.
