ffq-lar Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 This is pieced by one of my newest customers. She pieced the Ode to the 1930's that I recently shared. This is her Civil War quilt--she used all stash fabric except the border and backer. She has quite a collection of CW reproductions. The chain blocks were quilted with an arc of leaves to give the illusion that each block was surrounded. I love chain blocks as alternate blocks just for that reason--the chain sections make the eye think the blocks are on point. I had fun with this one--in spite of the fact that it was half-done when the storm killed the power and I couldn't get back to it for over a week.

ffq-lar Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 A detail shot. I didn't get enough pictures but it will be hanging at a quilt show Feb. 17th and 18th here in Olympia. She is a featured quilter so if anyone is in the area and wants directions, please ask. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Linda, I use your ideas all the time, so you must post closeups of some of those blocks. So take pictures at the quilt show and add them. I love the feather leaf surrounding the blocks. Do you go up one side and down the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like those inner fabrics pieces are folded / dimensional..... more ~ more ~ please? Here is a teaser photo of the flower quilt.Thanks for asking! It is to be a raffle quilt for a guild north of me. Just the ever-pleasing McT background with a bit of quilting on the petals. The white spikes are 3-D and I am trying not to catch the foot as I travel around. The centers will be quilted eventually. It has wool batting, hence the extra puffy look. It's not so fluffy in person. I'll post finished photos in a couple of days. It has setting triangles, a green flange (grrrr) and about six inches of border in the floral print used in the centers. I will see if I can get the pattern name from my customer. It looks like each flower had a stitch-and-fold technique. They are all machine appliqued to the neutral block--all in one piece.
