This is a quilt top I am working on for my daughter's partner.
The pattern is called Indian Hatchet--I found it in an old Patchwork book I found at a used book store. I adapted it to paper piecing and increased the size to a 12 inch block. |
very pretty. i can't wait to see how you finish it off.
don't you just love finding old quilt books and seeing how we can adapt the designs to our modern way of piecing? i can spend hours just lookinig at old quilt books. |
Great quilt! How do you plan on quilting it?

Hate to say it but I plan to send it out to be machine quilted!!

I enjoyed trying to figure this one out but I'm not sure I would do it again without having a computer program to help. That is my next big purchase. Software to do my own designs and fabric calculations. I never seem to have quite enough when I am doing my own plans. And being on an island it makes it a challenge to go and get the extra fabric when all I want to do is keep sewing.

That is really awesome! I see that quilt being done with old neck ties!

Neckties--what a great idea!!!

My mother got rid of my father's old necties, shortly after he died. Broke my heart. They are hard to find inexpensively... but, I'll keep looking.
