Transitions

This week's quilt is simple, although it looks complicated. I started with a postage stamp print purchased last year in Pensacola. I cut half square triangles in two sizes using navy and sea green fabrics that match the print.

I added cream muslin 3” squares, then sashing of slim strips with orange squares between each 6” square. A navy border frames it up nicely. Transitions is 48” x 56” in size.

The blocks were quick easy to cut and sew. I laid it out in EQ8 before finalizing the quilt fabrics. I used the same cream muslin for backing, and channel quilted with cream thread in a straight stitch one inch apart.

I saw a photo of this design in different colors online, but I don't know the original pattern name. Transitions seemed like the right description of this quilt with interesting lines and borders.

I love the whole creative process: being inspired, choosing colors, adding my personal touches, cutting, stitching, and quilting.
