Geometric patchwork

It started here ...

And then ended here ...

It's for my cousin, who's going through a bit of a rough patch these days ... I thought that maybe something to cuddle under on a wet, cold Seattle night might be helpful right now.


There are 5 prints and 1 solid.


The back is intentionally asymmetrical.


I like the contrast in the colors.


And here ... you can see how I "cheat".  Machine stitched binding and no mitered corners ... I didn't know any better at first, and as much as I've tried to miter those corners, I've never been as happy with them as I am with my squared off ones ... so ... I "cheat".

The quilt by numbers:

  • 6 blocks wide by 7 blocks tall
  • Start with a 10" square which is then cut into 4 polygons (or off-kilter blocks ;-)
  • Fabrics included:
    • Lotta Jansdotter
      • Florine Brass Mesh
      • Little Florine Brass Mesh
      • Aneta Ironwood
    • Rivoli Curl by Alexander Henry
    • Parisville by Tula Pink
    • Kona PFD
  • Quilted in a tight meandering with off-white thread.
  • Binding is Moda Puttin on the Ritz grey
UPDATE:  I have created a pattern for this quilt which you can find in my shop at Shinersview.

It's quite fun to take something from 0 to finished in a very short time frame ... I sure hope that this gives her the little uplift I am shooting for and that I think she needs.

Hope you're having a productive start to the new year. 

All the best
Lisa

  3. Wow, I like everything about that quilt! I like your corners. Never seen that method before. You know, the saying at our house is "Different is Good." We raised our kids to express their individuality and appreciate that same value in others!
