Fiddlehead Plaid Quilt, a wedding gift.
5 Attachment(s)
My son's best friends from college are all about to get married or have just gotten married, right through the end of this year. These guys are special to us! I have just finished this quilt as a wedding gift for the second couple... with four more to make! Each will be different...
For this quilt I started with pretty batik strips in all cool colors, and white. I used the "Woven" pattern on the Moda Bakeshop site, but as usual went off on my own path with it. I only used four color strips in each block, rather than six, so it wouldn't be so 'busy' would look more 'plaid' than 'woven'. I freehanded some fiddleheads in the open white squares. It turned out quite large-- full size, 64" x 78". I laid out seven rows of 6 blocks, or 42 blocks total. The blocks came out about 11" square.
