Pebbled Prairie QAL Week 4: Color C (And a Throwback C+S Quilt Photo!)

Welcome to Week 4 of the Pebbled Prairie Quilt-Along!  

More of the same this week as we are assembling the final color ring.  I'm dipping deep into my Ruby Star stash and pulling out some long-hoarded old favorites.

Doing so, made me realize that my original Cotton + Steel throw quilt has never been posted here!  If you do a deep dive on my personal instagram, you can probably find it - I made this quilt almost exactly nine years ago, between September and December 2015.  My photo organization skills were not quite as good back then, but with a lot of digging through the old folders I managed to find the original (and only) photo of it.

I could have taken a new one, but I like the original photos for these throwbacks.  The pattern is called Perfect 10, and that's all I can remember unfortunately.  At the time, my oldest was in second grade and the other two were home with me most of the day so it's amazing that I even remember that much!

Back to Pebbled Prairie - I'm stretching myself this week by randomizing ALL of the elements of Color C.  Last week, I cheated a little and used the same cornerstone for all my blocks, but not this time.  Each larger square will have twelve different fabric squares, each in their own random place.

You're not seeing things - the sashing is actually part of next week's step.  But assembling blocks into rows is one of my least favorite parts of making the quilt so I sew each individual vertical sashing in as I assemble the blocks.  Somehow doing them as a one-off feels like less work than doing them all in one go-round.

And that's it!  I'm looking forward to having a finished quilt top to share next week!  Remember to tag me @bluepipdesigns on Instagram when you post your progress to make sure I see it!  Still need a copy of the pattern?  It's available in my pattern shop now!
