I wanted to do a quilt with quarter square triangles to practice the technique. I watched several on-line videos about making these quarter square blocks before beginning. I also tried a quilting design that i saw on Fons and Porter’s TV show. The quilting pattern is designed to de-emphasize corners that may not match perfectly. I need a lot more practice with this quilting design. My attempt was poor at best. I used a package of 10” squares from MSQC called “Rosewater”.
- Size: 60" x 86" Twin bed size
- Quilting: Border quilted in a meandering medium stipple, vaguely floral. Center quilted in a design to complement hourglass in blocks. The design is supposed to take the emphasis away from corners that may not match perfectly. Free form quilting. 6 bobbins. Used Omni 100% polyester thread. Named "Rose". Quilting by Patty.
- Backing: Tan print fabric from Fabric.com. A wide back for quilts.
- Batting: 100% cotton batting from Winline “Back to Basics”
- Binding: Red tonal print cotton from my inventory. Fabric was bought at The Laurel Leaf’s going out of business sale.
- Pattern: Quarter square triangles, often called “Hourglass”. It’s a very traditional pattern.
