Here's my entry for challenge 1 of Project QUILTING
I call it Gregory's Whacky Eight. I have wanted an excuse to do an 8 repeat stack-n-whack quilt for a while and this challenge was perfect for that. The repeat on the focal fabric was 23 inches, so I had to get 5 yards to get the 8 repeats, then I stacked and whacked all of it to create the 42 blocks that would finish at 10 inches each. It was a tad too busy for my taste when there wasn't sashing, so I added those and magically it measures 74 x 86 inches.
The focal fabric and the backer (not pictured) are both from Gregory's Garden collection. The Purple and Prussian are both Kona Cotton Solids. I create in Madison, WI USA

Did you really make this quilt since Sunday? You must sew pretty fast...
ReplyDeleteYes, I picked out the fabric at 6pm on Sunday and it took me about 4 hours on Sunday, 10 hours on Monday and about 8 hours on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteWhy do people Question others integrity when they assume they know something. I know for a fact that this was made since Sunday when Jen found out about the challenge. I watched her work on it and yes she is a fast sewer, Just because you may not want to do something like this does not mean others aren't willing to spend the time to do it. Would you have been happier if she had only made 1 block? Mary
ReplyDeleteWhy do people like you automatically react negatively and assume the worst about people? You must be a very unhappy person. And how do you know I may or may not want to do something like this?
DeleteBeautiful quilt! Love the colors!
