Thread: Alex Anderson and Edyta Sitar

Thanks for sharing this show. Definitely beautiful high quality scrappy quilting.

I've seen this show before but enjoyed watching it again. Thank you. Edyta certainly seems like a sweet lady. I wish she could come to my guild and do a program and show us some of her quilts.

I loved this one. She is amazing and ...I too now feel the need for her books. Hmmmm...Mothers day is coming soon!!!
thank you for posting this one.

I made the hop to it quilt. I did this quilt in a class to learn how to applique. I still haven't finished it..although all the blocks are made. I have changed the border and am adding applique to it too. As is, it Might be big enough for a single bed, so I need to make it a bit bigger. I actually made the 1/2 sq trangles around the quilt in blues and purples, and lights and thought it overwhelmed the quilt.

I will tell you that I love Edyta Sitar's quilts she isn't the greatest on some of the details. Such as, the size of the blocks. The blocks are mentioned somewhere as 12inch blocks. I ended up remaking my center because I had made it a 12inch square. So my next ones were all about 14inch so I could cut them down! Finally somewhere in the book there is something that says that the blocks finish at 11 1/2. The blocks around the squares, I didn't find the size--I just figured out what I would n eed for a 121/2inch or 12 inch finished block (I wasn't about to go with a 11 1/2 at that point.)
