Chevron quilt |
My
first commission quilt was a chevron quilt. While I had dabbled briefly with chevrons,
here and
here ... I had never made a completed quilt of them, and I had only done them with HSTs.
So ... before attempting a commission, I figured I need to try one out on my own. Off to the stash I went ... and am pleased to share ...
This baby was a freebie ... constructed entirely from the stash ... front and back -- and my first labeled quilt that wasn't a commission!
It will sit in our family room on the green leather sofa or chair that it was made for!
And again, I used both the
chevron tutorial from Crazy Mom Quilts and the
binding tutorial from Rachel @ Stitched in Color. Actually, I am not really using Rachel's tutorial any longer ... this is just how I will bind my quilts going forward, and Rachel taught me ;-0.
The back is nothing terribly special ... it is also completely from the stash ...
I love a new, unexpected quilt ... particularly one that really didn't cost anything to make. The commission quilt was a success ... and so, I think, was this one!
All the best
