Green Space
We've
finally sprung ahead. I'm not too crazy about the time change
because I lost an hour of sewing! Anyhow, I'm happy that spring is
nearly here. Daffodils are blooming and forsythia isn't far behind.
Today's
quilt is two shades of green, for St. Patrick's Day and all things
spring. The pale batik contrasting fabric gives just a hint of yellow
and blue. Placement of the patches in these large 16” blocks
creates winding paths across the quilt. I laid out the design and
colors in EQ8.
Green
Space is 48” square. I quilted along the curves with green thread
using a decorative leafy vine stitch. In the center sections, I used
a straight stitch and made a double octagon pattern.
This one was easy and enjoyable to sew. Callie cat gave it her seal of approval.
