Slow and Steady in Bedford, PA

Mary and I spent the day with Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts working on blocks for her quilt called "Slow and Steady".  By the way, that is how one needs to approach the blocks for this quilt, slow and steady, as Edyta was continually saying.

Behind us is the quilt called "Slow and Steady".

It is a snail's trail pattern and is classified as an intermediate quilt.  It uses lots of little strips and squares and could put a dent in the scrap bag.

I was able to complete 9 blocks today as well as cutting out several of the 60 degree background triangles.

The center four patch measures an inch and a half!

133 more little blocks to go!

Look for more info on this quilt and others by Edyta in her book called "Handfuls of Scraps Pieced into Amazing Quilts".

Tonight is Edyta's lecture, tomorrow is "Dresden Bloom", a stand alone pattern, and Sunday is "Basket of Scraps", also from the book mentioned above.

Can't wait!
