| Contrary Girl |
I've always had a
soft spot for reproduction pastel 1930's prints. They have a
definite vintage vibe. A cutting session in September with AccuQuilt 3 1/2” square and
triangle dies had me looking for an old fashioned quilt
block design. I found a nine-patch called contrary wife, and
used pale soft yellow solid triangles instead of white to lessen the
contrast.
The arrangement of the blocks creates patterns of stars and multicolored
squares on point. Straight stitch quilting was done in offset
squares with medium pink thread. Backing and binding are a pink
crosshatch print. The result is
Contrary Girl, a 36” square baby quilt that I absolutely
love.
I may have been called contrary, once or twice...

I can be as
contrary
as I choose.”
