44. Learn how to Quilt Bloody Sawblades, Design #398

It’s time to learn a new design! Today we’re learning Bloody Sawblades:

So why such a gory name for this pretty design? Well, there’s something about a name like this that sticks in your head. I’ve found from experience that the more you remember a design and think about it, the more likely you will be to try it when you’re quilting.

Or…I might have that whole idea backwards and I’ve just grossed you out so badly you’ll never want to try it!

Either way, let’s at least give it a shot with this video tutorial:

So really this is just a combo of Sawblades and Swirling Water so if either parts of this design are confusing or tricky, you might want to stitch out both of those designs first, then see if putting them together is a bit easier.

Now it’s been one of those days where I’ve run around town, gotten photos taken, eaten lunch with a great friend, and in just a bit I’ll take James to see a movie. I think between now and then, I’m going to hand stitch some hexies in the sun.

Let’s go quilt!
