Summit Stitches Linky Party! from Humble Quilts

Happy December!

I was able to get the binding ready before traveling to my daughters for Thanksgiving and got it completed! YAY!

Love this little conversation print.

In case you don't remember I summitted Mt St Helens and this sewalong came on the heels of that accomplishment. I got that done the same way we get our quilts done- one step at a time, one patch at a time.

I would usually put a repro on the back but felt like this was more appropriate!

I'm looking forward to seeing yours. Please add your link, or just a ...

Summit Stitches Reveal from Humble Quilts

You should have 5 sawtooth stars.

And 20 twenty 16 patches (and a few extra leftover 4 patches if you were speedy)

All of these should measure 4 1/2"

Lay them out like this.

And sew them together like this. YAY!

Your center should measure 20 1/2" square

I am choosing to border mine like the original, (will show at the end of this post) but you can certainly finish it however you'd like.

I'm adding a red, shirting and goldish brown border.

They are all cut 1 1/2".

RED: cut two- 20 1/2 ...

STOP THE PRESSES! Summit Stitches part 3 from Humble Quilts

Feel free to pull your hair out, scream at me, never read my blog again!

In testing they always say your first answer is usually correct..well,

My first post said we needed 80 four patches, then I corrected it to be 320.

When I was sewing 320 four patches, I thought, "Is this actually right?" NO it wasn't! But I am going to have a lot of little 4 patches left over and you may too. 320 is the amount of 1.5 squares we needed. Geez Louise!

I have made small errors before in the sewalong but ...

Summit Stitches Part 2 from Humble Quilts

This is the original star in the quilt. I've cropped it close, but yes, the tips are cut off a little.

Let's make one!

You should be able to click on that and make it larger.

Here is the background square cut on the diagonal twice.

Lay your pieces out

I start with the flying geese sections, lining up one side as seen in the photo,

Sew, then press and add the other side. I take a tiny bit less than a 1/4" seam allowance. This piece, when sewn should measure 2 1/2" x 1 1 ...

Summit Stitches Part 1 continued from Humble Quilts

I wanted to give you a few more closeups of the original little quilt. I'm making sure to add a few homespuns!

And sweet directional fabric.

When I ran out of squares I wanted to use, I started using the 1 1/2" strips. I was hoping to get these sewn before heading to Houston but my flight leaves so early I had to get ready for bed super early!

The 4 patches are so cute! Originally I told you 80.... 80 is a great starting place but we will actually need 320 4 patches! I corrected that on ...
