Half Log Cabin Quilt
This quilt started with a photo of a Kaffe Fassett quilt, done in shades of red/pink/yellows… I came across the bulrushes fabric in my local fabric shop, was taken by the peach shades in the fabric, bought a couple of coordinating fabrics then came home and raided my stash-ending up with 14 fabrics that worked well with the bulrushes. Cutting the pieces took a bit of time, stitching the blocks went faster than I expected. I played around with a couple of different block arrangements and decided to use the one that created diagonals from the square element of the block.
This is the back of the quilt.
First Tulips of the Season
The deer left some tulips – I’ve been jealously guarding them waiting for them to bloom – today they opened!
Purple Modern Quilt
I enrolled in a Craftsy class on Modern Quilts by Elizabeth Hartman. This idea was for a quilt made using a block structure but to have that structure not be obvious. Her quilt was done in greys with a yellow accent. I had this collection of quarter yard purple fabrics. I added the sharp bright green as a contrast. I made it lap size which required double the number of blocks (24) and I added a narrow border to each side to widen the quilt just a bit. However my modifications blend in so that you don’t see the border as a separate piece but as a continuation of the whole.
