My way. 4 patch.
I made enough 4 patch blocks to make two quilts. The second one needed to be mine. I made the first one to look like the one in the book. Why do that? Awhile ago I bought some fabric with roses on it that I was in love with but was afraid to use. I decided it was time. Here is how it came out - What do you think? Does the floral overpower the blocks? Is that a bad thing (if it does)? For me, the blend is perfect. I am dreaming about the bed on the porch of my childhood camp. It was iron and sometimes had a hornets nest somewhere inside. That is the truth! But, it was on a screen porch near the lake. I loved it there. And, this quilt is now part of the memory even though it never was. Here is the first quilt.
Looks like an enormous quilt, but lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteIt is HUGE -- I am trying to put as many diff. patterns in the quilting as I can come up with so the quilting is a little slower than usual .. This quilt does have a new batting in it - but the top and back are 100% recycled as usual. When I wash and dry the quilt it will pucker and look really cool.
