Evolution of a quilt
Okay, so I needed to make a quilt for DH's Boss' son getting married next week. I started with the Hoffman free pattern that I thought was so cool, and did not look that hard. I just could not get excited about this project, and I had two other large quilts I was working on at the same time (This began back in March). So, I got everything cut, and realized that all of those "x" corner blocks were foundation pieced. I am just not patient enough for them, as easy as they should be, so I adjusted the pattern to only have one "x" joining blocks to make them intertwine, and cut my FP blocks by 4. I got everything cut, and two of the blocks together, and just did not like it. So back to the drawing board. 6 months later, you see the finished pattern. I like it well enough, did not want to do too much quilting to take away from the gardenia print. This was my first FMQ feather, too. Not my best, but I am sure the kids will enjoy it. Think I will make a pillow out of the two blocks I did- they are 15" square. The quilt fits a full size bed, but is meant for cuddling on the couch. Thanks for all of your support, always. You are all such an inspiration for me.
