Linda's Star by Linda B

2 Challenges in 1! The Virginia Quilt Museum issued a mini-quit challenge of your favorite traditional quilt block due in early April. I had already picked out this pattern, Linda's Star, from Quilter's Cache, when PQ15.4 was posted. 

It was a no brainer to adjust the pattern to 15" square to meet the VQM requirements. I just made it a little bit sooner than anticipated.

Hourglass by Maren R

Still traveling, so when i read the headline: "make a whole Quilt in one week" i panicked a little bit and thought impossible with hand sewing for me ( had a bedsize Quilt in mind). Already searching for a machine trader where i might use a machine for a while....then i continued reading and calmed. o k. possible even with hand sewing, but nevertheless visited the trader. Machines could not be used but i found something interesting: Already Quilted fabric.

So i went Marcel Duchamp like and bought my ready made quilted fabric, nicely squared up, made a border all by hand and embroidered the hourglass structure.

when i finished i discovered i embroidered the backside. Oh my ! Alzheimer at 52 that's bad.....

My husband thinks it is just a sign that i made even the backside beautiful so that i did not discover it until i took the pictures. Well how kind.....

25*25cm

had a lot of fun but glad that i will have my machine for the next challenge.

PQ15.4 “HOURGLASS”
Robyn Wimmer


Hourglass…hmm.

Technically, I’m not much of a real quilter; I prefer calling myself a Fiber Arts artist.

In fact, I can only think of a few quilt patterns I’ve ever followed including two Five Patch quilts for my twin granddaughters. Maybe a few Bento Box lap quilts, a couple of Turning Twenties. But most of the time, it’s random blocks, usually for a Project Linus or Guild/Church donation.

When Trisha announced PQ15.4 “Hourglass” I wasn’t interested in doing the traditional block. Instead, I immediately thought of my life. Well, my husband’s and mine…

I created an hourglass along with question marks because we’re beginning to ask ourselves, “How much longer should we live at the lake? When should we sell? Where should we move? What are we going to do with all our stuff?

My hourglass is filled with a lot of love but we still have plenty of room for more although I doubt we’ll find another beautiful pine forest to surround us. It’ll most likely be in a city with services close by!

Hourglass by Carol P

My modern HOURGLASS mug rug auditions a block from a recently purchased pattern by the same name. (by Quilt and Dagger Design (#ad))

This color choice reminded me of the greens and gold of St Patty’s Day. The paper piecing assures a nice crisp finish.
