S.N.O.W. Day... "Project 2"

Today I'm showing the Crazier Eights templates by Creative Grids.

You saw me show some of the blocks in 2021... BuT yeaahhh...

the quilt has now been finished & I'm very HaPPy with how it turned out.

I've used these templates once before but as a scrap buster with different colours and fabrics in all five pieces. This method of using all different fabrics in individual blocks makes a great 8 inch scrappy border too. Now I didn't make this idea/layout up BuT I did discover it by accident. Of course since then, I have seen the designer demonstrate how she uses these templates in various ways.😏

For my Crazier Star Quilt...

Here's a pic of the templates & the specific way I used them this time...

Because I used the same colour in 4 blocks while using template A... 

I simply joined these 4 together to make a large 16inch "star" block. 

I chose a different colour and again used template A to make more "stars". 

The process was repeated until I had 12 large "star" blocks.

And here is the FiNiSHeD quilt...

This scrap charity quilt measures 48 inch x 64 inch but you could easily add more "stars"... or perhaps add a border or two to make to your required size. 

It's a great scrap buster too. You get to use those odd slightly larger offcuts.

It's very simple & quick AND I found it thoroughly EnJoYaBLe too...

If you have a set of these templates & haven't used them this way... give it a try.
