yankiequilter Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Our grandson will graduate from high school in June and when I asked him what colors he would like if I made a quilt for him he told me turquoise and black, their school colors. Their school mascot is Hurricane and I wanted to make a quilt that represented one. After looking for a very long time I decided there were no patterns that looked like a hurricane and I chose Judy Martin's pattern, Shenandoah log cabin. Quilted with Glide on top and Magna Glide bobbins with Hobbs Polydown batting. The panto is Infinity by Patricia Ritter and I used the Quilt Path swirl on the border. Finished today, almost two months early. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oma Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I really like how you used fabric that wasn't solid black or turquois. This has such movement. Wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s.waits Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Beautiful! Great pattern choice. The center of those blocks does look like the hurricane icons we see on weather reports and evacuation route signs around here, so I think it's perfect!
