Yesterday I finished this Lattice Quilt using Kaffe Fassett / Philip Jacobs large pattern fabrics. (The back used a Philip Jacobs fabric with an inserted crazy quilted piece.)
Cutting and assembling this quilt wasn’t the challenge; figuring out how to quilt the “blocks” was. In the end I set up an 8×8 design – 20 blocks in all (leaving some of the sashing unquilted), thirteen 3×8 blocks, two 3×3 blocks and then a design for the border.
This quilt has turned out a wee bit larger than my usual lap quilts – the design forced that – had to use an even number of blocks to make the lattice symetrical.
I love the elegance of this quilt-it reminds me of Monet ! Did you design the quilt pattern?
Yes, and no. I had seen a picture of a quilt like this that had blocks created with sashing running through the blocks. I had a collection of Kaffe Fassett and Philip Jacobs large print fabrics in those blue/turquoise/purple shades and thought they would work well with the white fabric with tiny blue dots. If it’s helpful, I can take a photo of just a couple of blocks so you can see how they’re constructed.
My favourite, so far

I’m happy with this one, too.
