How this chaos all started ...
I have been wanting to make a red/white quilt of red crosses. So I started doing just that but ended up not liking the crosses. I didn't like the size or making the cross block from
just a solid red.
So I ended up with more than a few 9.5 inch cross orphan blocks. I already had several
9.5 inch orphan blocks left over from making my Brick Road quilt.
I decided to take all of those cross and brick road orphan blocks and put them together to make a quilt top. Of course there weren't ENOUGH orphan blocks ... so I had to make a few more blocks. I decided to make 9.5 inch blocks from a pattern and tutorial by Jera Brandvig of the blog Quilting in the Rain. You can find that tutorial HERE.
I then ended up with floor to ceiling block chaos!!!!
Once I was able to get the blocks sewn into rows ... I moved them to the living room floor
to work on a layout that was orderly and visually pleasing to me.
My Red/White Chaos quilt top is now complete.
72 x 81 inches
