Trail Mix
What
a fun quilt to make! These Snail's Trail blocks are made up with old
fashioned red prints and bright yellow batiks, along with a neutral
gray mini dot.
The
small pieces were super easy to chain sew on my Featherweight. I added a 2” red border to frame it up. For backing, I stitched a few extra blocks to
use with a long strip of dots plus one of the red prints.
I
quilted with a medium red/orange variegated thread. It's just the
right contrast to showcase those stitches. Ruler quilting on the
Janome with the curvy Elvira ruler creates a nice symmetric design.
Trail Mix finished at 52” square.
