Fabrics:
| Background |
creme, brown, peach irregular stripe on
beige |
| Focus |
Hoffman Poinsetta print in pink, rose and
blue-green on creme. The narrow centre border in the focus
print was a happy "design decision": I only
had a few inches of this fabric left, so the finished
border is less than 1" wide. Although it was not
my intention, without a wide poinsetta print border, this
"reads" less like a Christmas quilt, allowing
us to display it out of season. |
| Blocks, frames, outer borders |
Various tone-on-tones in shades of green
and pink |
|
| Quilting: Invisible
thread meandering, stitch-in-the-ditch |
| Comments: this
is a favourite setting. It allows the quilter to frame out irregular
size blocks, while still setting aside 4 blocks of the same
size for the corners. The corner blocks shown here are all blocks
which I prefer set straight rather than on-point like the centre
blocks. Finished quilt is approximately 48x72" |
