Here's
another lap quilt made with a busy print fabric in grape, tan, and
green. The overall design is almost modern, even though the material
has a vintage country vibe with little star blocks.
Solid
olive green makes the triangles stand out next to the signature
shapes. I normally don't sew two fabric quilts, so I forgot how
relaxing they can be. No worries about color placement, just merrily stitching along.
I
sewed the blocks on Black Betty, our restored Singer 201. She's a sweet quiet machine that makes such pretty seams.
For
quilting, I switched to the Janome for her walking foot accuracy. I
sewed straight stitches in green thread, following the zig-zag lines. Wine Country finished at 48" square. Quick, easy, and done! I celebrated with a glass of sangria.
By the way, leap day is this Thursday. What will you do with your extra day? Here's a link to a previous blog post for some fun ideas to celebrate!
