Tranquility
I
normally use a wide variety of fabrics in my quilts. This one is an
exception: I only used two. A navy mini-floral print serves as
background for a lovely muted red and medium blue batik.
I
used Blue Wren's Pine Bark block, which is also called Japanese Jigsaw
or Japanese Puzzle. Easy cutting is a happy benefit of two color quilts.
My
design wall came in handy for laying out this puzzle. After sewing
all the blocks, I combined them in diagonal rows, adding the corner
and border pieces as I went along.
I
repeated the navy print on the back, with a single row of alternating
batik/navy 6” squares. I quilted along the main diagonal seam
lines using a triple serpentine stitch with silver gray thread.
Tranquility finished at 49” square.
