This quilt goes
together
so easily that it's almost embarrassing! It measures 61" x 57 1/2", and
it was the first I made from the book. It's machine pieced and quilted;
I had a wonderful time doing the free-motion quilting on it! I used
variegated
thread in two different browns and a green to make the vines and leaves
that are climbing up this "wall" of broken bricks. Here's a closeup of
part of it:
This second quilt was the one that first caught my attention in the
book. It was fun to make, being machine pieced and machine quilted like
the one above. It measures 61" x 54 1/2". Once again, I used variegated
thread, in blue this time, to do the leafy border quilting. However, I
did a pinwheel-like effect on each houndstooth block, stippling in the
background. You can see the effect below:
