Modern
and colorful, today's quilt features bright scraps paired with crisp
white muslin. This classic nine-patch was fun and easy to make.
I
used the square and stem sections of the Maple Leaf die to construct
8” blocks. They are arranged on point with 1” sashing between,
and setting triangles for sides and corners. I used EQ8 to preview
color placement, then laid out the blocks on my design wall as I
sewed them.
Corner
Bar is 54” square. I quilted with white polyester embroidery
thread to add some shine to the stitching. I used a walking foot to
create random square and rectangular patterns across the whole quilt.
Gray and white stripes for the binding finish it off nicely.
I'll
make this one again, perhaps in pastels or a monochrome scheme. Oh,
the possibilities!
