| 'Orange X Squares Medallion Quilt', my design. |
Thanks Sujata for hosting this blog, Basket of Scraps.
These two quilts are my improv designs. The top small quilt, Half Square Triangles and Broken Dishes, measures 15" x 16". I pieced it using scraps and recycled cotton shirts I found at a local thrift shop.
In the top photo it is still in the process of being hand quilted. I have since finished it (last summer) and now it is on my wall, perfect brightness for summer.
The second quilt, Orange X Squares Medallion Quilt measures at 44" square.
I used left over blocks, scraps and yardage from previous projects. I pieced the Orange X Blocks (left over from another project) into a medallion and pieced HSTs and nine patch stars (down the left side), as borders, deciding to make the medallion off center.
Did I mention that orange is one of my favorite colors?
This quilt was started early this year and I'm almost done hand quilting it.
Sujata congratulations on your article in American Patchwork & Quilting, Sew & Tell.
'Post Cards from Thailand' is a beautiful quilt.
