Hourglass |
Just finished binding this quilt for my mother before winter is over. There are about 300 blocks and they shrunk a bit after washing. I measured it to be extra long but perhaps not wide enough. Another lesson learnt there. Judi Schon did a fabulous job on the long-arm quilting and created a lot of swirling texture which was the look I was after on this geometric block.
Hexagon |
I've always admired the hexagon quilt block but dread doing Y seams. The blocks are large and all the fabric comes from my current stash. The quilt top came together quickly because no tricky piecing was required. Susan Trendall did the long-arm quilting with an Asian flower design. I wish the photo was a better close-up to showcase the design.
