Here is a queen sized quilt I recently finished and sent off for my sister and her husband. It started with a 5" charm pack of Moda fabrics that she gave to me. I set them on point, added solid blocks, surrounded all that with red, added a pieced strip on 2 sides to set it all off center, added an outer border with 2 different widths, painted an applique (inspired by Helen Stubbing and her book Faux Applique) added pieced blocks in one corner for variety. For quilting, I used an allover flower/leaf and a quilt technique from Helen Stubbing's book in the border. Quilting detail and the quilt on a bed are pictured below. And all this in a week!!!Tuesday, December 23, 2008
