Leonieke<p>Quilt update, Trip Around The World</p><p>When I placed all 16 blocks on my bed (see beginning of this thread), I looked at the picture often to see why the blocks did not make sense to me. When I found that it was because of the square of aqua-colored blocks in the middle, I decided to unpick and start over after adding in an extra row of smallers blocks.</p><p>After unpicking all 56 blocks, I ironed them again and I removed the bits of fluff/thread as best as I could.</p><p>Of course, when adding in an extra row, the size of the quilt grew again. My bed is not very large, so a 240x240 cm quilt would dwarf my bed, making it very cumbersome to move and use. With the additional rows, I can now change the design from a 4x4 block finish (240x240 cm) to a 3x3 block finish (180x180 cm), which also made picking and choosing the KFC fabrics for the middle slightly easier.</p><p>I have one new block finished, the other 8 blocks have been pinned out ready for sewing. As I'm progressing, I'm starting to think of the binding for this quilt: I do not want to add a border, and a scrappy binding feels too busy. I am leaning towards a plain color. I have two options for the backing, both would work great with plain colors as well.</p><p>First up: continue to finish the eight large blocks!</p><p><a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/leoniekedoesnotneedmorehobbies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LeoniekeDoesNotNeedMoreHobbies</span></a> <a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/ltaacreations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LTAACreations</span></a> <a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/fiberarts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FiberArts</span></a> <a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/patchwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PatchWork</span></a> <a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/quilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Quilt</span></a> <a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/triparoundtheworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TripAroundTheWorld</span></a> <a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/kaffefassettcollective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KaffeFassettCollective</span></a></p>
