Sundance
Sundance
Bright
yellow and orange batiks stand out against cool pale blue in this
week's quilt. I was working on it back in August when the temps hit
the high 90's.
Classic
palm blocks look complicated but are relatively easy to sew. There are a lot of
pieces, though. I stacked them by the machine in order so I wouldn't
mix them up while sewing. Having an iron and pressing mat next to me
helped as well.
I
added 3” borders, so Sundance finished at 55” square. Quilting
with pale blue thread, I sewed a serpentine stitch 4” apart in a
grid pattern.
I
can't wait to try other color combinations and layouts, maybe even a
scrappy version. So many possibilities!
