Hearty Blend from Coffee Time Quilts
2 Attachment(s)
The pattern is called Hearty Blend from the quilting book Coffee Time Quilts. While at my quilt quild in January I decided to pick up a few books at random and just go for it - no excessive thinking over which pattern I should use. I just took one book home and voila.
One of my co workers and dear friend is going to be retiring in the spring/summer and I made it for her in mind. Her favourite quilts are log cabins but she already has one she cherishes so I figured she would like something else. She doesn't have a favourite colour so Im hoping she will like red.
I picked this pattern to challenge me - it had a lot of piecing (720 in all the blocks) and I had to really pay attention to lining everything up properly. Im happy to say that all the blocks are PERFECT, or as close to perfect as I get lol. However once I started to piece the blocks together things started to get crooked...and then more and more crooked. Oh well, she wont mind :) Its hard not being able to give it to her NOW lol. I gotta wait until she retires!
I saw someone here recently post their quilt with a block on the back of the quilt and tried out the method. I love the back and will def do it again in future quilts!
