Charity Quilt Ta-Done!
October 10th, 2018
My pledge to myself to use up orphan blocks to make donation quilts has paid off-my first one has been pieced and quilted! I’m very fond of blues/greens/and purples so it was very easy to work on this quilt. I used my PTD ruler starter set for all the ruler work. You can see the ruler work design pretty clearly in the sections made w/solid color fabrics:
…and the same design is used inside the large center blocks inside the stars, although it’s not as obvious because of the print fabrics:
One of the things I love most about ruler work is that it’s easy to create larger secondary designs that are formed by multiple adjacent blocks, as seen below:
The half triangles and squares along the outermost “pieced section” were filled with featherettes, and the outermost border is a mirror image pair of feathers in each border:
My goal is to piece at least 12 quilt tops over the next 12 months and if I can also get them quilted in that time frame, I would be on the moon!
The back side does not show the quilting well because it’s too busy of a print:
One last look:
