Mary Jane at Play Quilt

This quilt is my adaptation of Carrie's Country Lane Table Runner from vol. 1 of the QA series. As previously mentioned in my last post, since I have enough table runners for now, I wanted to use the Mary Jane fabric I had to construct a small quilt. I used the same three blocks as the table runner, just arranged them differently. Here is a visual view of where I am:

After sewing the blocks, you assemble the rows in a diagonal pattern. 

Rotate the topper and the blocks are in a "diamond" shape. The tops of the outer blocks are cut to create a flat edge.

I am pleased with how nicely the seams matched

up. I am learning and surprised at the same time.

Of course, all that spray starch helps everything

to lay flat.

Use your easy angle rule to
cut a nice corner edge.








Nice cutting, however, too late I made a huge error. I cut the blocks too close to the inner blocks and did not leave a 1/4" seam allowance for the border. I could just - oh, *^ bleep, bleep - too late now. Live and learn.






Otherwise, I think the top came together nicely and once the borders are added more pictures will be coming your way. Take care and have a pleasant evening,
