Whine on the Porch. Gravity Quilt – background. August 29, 2015. Since Sassy Southern Sewing, I continued working on Gravity. The grey monotone background was very fast to cut. The kit provided generous amounts of extra fabric so recutting a mistake was no problem. In fact, i cut extra triangles, diamonds and hexagons with the left overs. I plan to make pillow covers with them. Grey background pieces and blocks for Gravity Quilt cut out very fast. Pictured shows the layout for one section. August 2, 2015.

Tie plates, tie straps, command strips, neodymium magnets. The resul...
