Terraces, and A Sad Goodbye

Terraces

Crisp white combined with just about any color makes a pretty quilt. This one is particularly bright and springy using fresh green scraps.

Terraces features 2” x 3” rectangles, 3” squares, triangles, and strips surrounding a 6” center square. I saw a similar one at a quilt show but I don't remember who made it. I laid it out in EQ8 but also played with fabric placement on my design wall.

Finished size is 54” square. I quilted with white thread in several different stitches around each section. The back is pieced with some of the leftover rectangles and a beautiful large green and white floral print.

 

Today is the first day of spring, and sunny here in Tennessee. The only problem is the 17 degree low temperature this morning. Oh well, that's what quilts are for.

On a sad note, I'll be working alone in the sewing room from now on. We lost our precious Callie cat last Thursday after a short illness. She was 12 years old and had a good day on Wednesday, playing outside in the sunshine, even tracking a mouse. I will surely miss our morning cuddles and that sweet face!
