One Block Wonder


Recommended Posts

Here's what I've been working on.  The quilt top was made by staff at my local quilt shop, that staff included me :) .  I just got it quilted in preparation for the Jackson Hole Quilt Festival that's coming in early October.  I'll be teaching two classes, on one block wonders and cubes.

 

The quilting is free motion.  The batting is a blend, I think it's Hobbs 80/20.  I used a variety of threads, including sew fine, invisifil, glide and bottom line.

 

I would have loved to put feathers in the big blue spaces, but this quilt did not speak feathers to me.  It spoke flowers with wavy leaves.  The Pajama Quilter teaches them, and I've seen them in many other places.  They are easy to do, easy to fit into weird spaces.  The background in some of the blue is a variation of banana stacks (?), spaced out a bit to mimic the fern leaves in the fabric.

 

The hex blocks are continuous curve.  SID around the cubes.

 

Thanks for looking!

 

I don't have a good picture of the whole quilt yet.  Here it is folded over my cutting table:

Top o' the walk quilting, all phases, piecing, colors are gorgeous, etc.

 

I agree, flowers rather than feathers are the best choice.

 

I think a lot of folks who see this will remember and use the flowers

as you have here, in other quilts, also.

 

Good Luck, top winnings are hoped for..
