I changed up the design just a bit playing with solids in red, white, and black. The nice thing about the solids is that it allowed me to strip piece all of the 2 patches to be made into the 4 patches so they went super quick ;)
And I am using the same block layout and just altering the color placement of the reds and blacks. Now that I have all of the 4 Patches and HST made it is just like making bit 9 Patch Blocks ;) They go together so fast and I just love seeing all of the points come together to form the ladder!!
Aren't the blocks so fun in this layout!!! I just love how bold and crisp they are in the classic red, white, and black!!!
And a few seams later I have a super fun start to my Jacob's Ladder quilt ;) This would be a cut little baby quilt, but I already have plans for this start.
One crisp, beautiful, Jacob's Ladder large lap quilt perfect for snuggling up in!!! EEEkkk, I can't wait to finish up these blocks and get it all sewn together ;)
So I best get trimming up these HST and sewing up these blocks :) Here is hoping I have a finish to share soon!!
And if you have had a Jacob's Ladder Quilt on your bucket list for a while, be sure to pop on over to the Jolly Jabber and check out Fat Quarter Shops pattern ;) You are going to love it!!!

I know mine will be filled with some more Jacob's Ladder Block making ;)
I love your version with solid colors, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteWow! So graphic with only 2 solids in there. This feels really fresh and yet comfortably familiar. Thanks for showing this. I need to go look at those others now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI love the drama of the colors in your version!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it with the solids. Great job
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Melissa. I have linked to your blog today.
ReplyDeleteHey stranger ~ I had to comment to tell you how awesome the colors are you're using. I am working slowly at it, but I've been collecting black, red, and white to make a quilt because I love the way they look. I have a list of about three quilts that made me want to learn to quilt and the Jacob's Ladder was one of them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great: I love it in the red and black! Is it for a certain college? I'm getting to know your almamater's (don't know how to spell it, and spellcheck isn't helping!!) colors! :-) And how is your wrist doing? healing nicely I hope? I took a miss-step off a ladder last month and gave myself a nice little hairline fracture in my left wrist: cutting fabric hurts, so I've been slowed down in my sewing, and it made me think of you and your wrist problems. hugs, H
ReplyDeleteThe fabric colors just make this block pop...love it!
ReplyDeleteHey! I finally know what HST stands for. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, who would know a few blocks in red, black and white turn out to be so stunning put together
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I love the way it looks so complex, and yet breaks down into such a manageable pattern!
ReplyDeleteReally nice! I wasn't interested in the look on the FQS' blog but this is lovely (and i don't even like the color combo or red, black and white!)
