Indian Summer Quilt

 I found a free baby quilt pattern on the Suzy Quilts website.  

It's called Indian Summer. The pattern can be found here.   

You all know how much I LOVE HST!  

It was a pretty quick quilt to make even with trimming all the HST. 

 I sized up the original squares from 7-3/4 to 8" so I would have trimming room once the HST were sewn.

I also numbered my fabrics and numbered the colors on the diagram on the pattern

I laid out my fabrics in number order too.

As I made the HST I put them in piles with numbers 1-8 on them.

This made the assembly MUCH faster, especially since my colors were so close to each other.

Here are my fabrics laid out in the order I used them.

(the second purple got pushed behind the darker one in the pic)

I used all solids I had in my stash.

Here are all my HST sewn. 

 I still had not pressed and trimmed here.  

I used my Bloc-Loc ruler to trim.

On the other side of the pattern is the diagram that matches this picture of the quilt.

I was able to label each of those colored triangles with a number that corresponded to the number I assigned to the fabric color I was using.

This made assembly much easier.

Oh, I still did some ripping, LOL.

You can see all my HST here all trimmed and labeled.

All my pretty trimmings.

Cole is always right where I am when I am sewing.

I will talk more about some assembly tips on this quilt in my next post.

I will show you the finished top too.

It is raining here today so no photos for me!

Going to radiation treatment 6 today (out of 15).

Things are going well so far!

Someone posted this on FB today and I feel it was speaking directly to me!

Have a great day!
