This is one of our latest 4-sister quilts - this is Jayne's quilt. Sister Joyce made the 'A' blocks - the 9 patch. Sister Jo made the 'B' blocks - the star blocks. They chose their colors based on the darker blue print that Jayne had selected to begin.
My task was to assemble the quilt top - - since I own a longarm, I also offered to quilt it for her - which she quickly accepted. AND - since I had not yet made a bed quilt for Jayne - I took the A and B blocks, added lots and made a king-sized quilt for her. I started with a feathered start - I love making them, using techniques I learned in a Quilt University online class.
Another technique I love to use is based on Dale Fleming's 6-minute circle - I made a template with freezer paper, made a mirror image of it - ironed/glued/sewed and trimmed and made the curved muslin insets - love it!
The extra A and B blocks I pieced into the backing.
