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.
Is this goig to someone? It's absolutely glorious!
ReplyDeleteHey you - Im glad your still around. I took School seriously this semester and did not have as much spare time as I am used to. I made this one for a Fiesta collector. His collection has a focus on some fiesta made in with "red stripes" around the edges. I thought adding this band of red stripe around the edge of his cloth would really mark it as his own. I love the way it worked out. Originally, I had the red stripe about 3 inches wider on all sides. He thought it was too heavy - so we cut it down. I like it as well either way.
