Quilting Round 3 of Navajo Nation

Adding Round 3

Making Third Round Blocks

Quilting the last round definitely took longer than I anticipated. But, I’m continuing to plug away at this baby.

Quilting Round 2

Adding the Second Round

I’ve finished piecing together 14 additional Navajo squares. I then assembled 2 rows of 3 squares (sides) and 2 rows of 4 squares (top and bottom). I attached these rows (sides first) to the quilt using the same procedure utilized for Round 1.

Pattern Modification

I’m still plugging away at making the Round 2 Navajo squares. At the same time, I’ve been making some modifications to my design.

Adding The First Round of Blocks

Making the First Round of Blocks

I’ve finished quilting the center section of the quilt and am now ready to start assembling the first round of blocks. EQ6 is treating this as a 5-inch border. In fact the rest of the quilt is a series of borders surrounding the center two blocks. In this round the corner blocks are 5-inch squares, the horizontal middle blocks are 6 x 5 and the verticle middle blocks are 5 x 6. I’ve printed out foundation patterns and will paper piece these blocks together. You can check out some paper-piecing tutorials I’ve found here.
