Hi Folks!
ANOTHER snow day here today...blizzard warning!
SO! After I made the bed, I decided to take a picture for this topic!
It is a Maple Leaf quilt ( I have LOVED maples since we adopted our flag in 1967!! I was 9!)
It is tessellated and has five colour families in it (red,green,yellow, brown and orange) with each colour group having between 12 and 15 different kinds of material. Sewing the quilt was a simple procedure but the planning and execution of the planning was gruesome. Because of the tessellation you have to know and use colours from the blocks all around the block you're doing. I goofed once and didn't see it until AFTER it was quilted ( hand quilted 1/4" around each leaf) so it wasn't coming apart. But the goof was substituting one yellow triangle for another yellow fabric so it isn't awful!
I made it for my husband- to- be for our bed. Sadly he is colourblind so he really doesn't appreciate it like I do, but he does appreciate the workmanship and dedication so that means a lot.
Happy Quilting~
