Aunt Linda made another quilt like Mother enjoys making. See Aunt Linda’s Mountain Quilt from October 2020 and Mother and Sally’s Quid Pro Quo from March 2020 and the earlier quilts that Mother made. This time Aunt Linda used a brown rather than black accent strip in the blocks, hence “brown” in the quilt’s title.
- 69" x 80" Single bed size
- Quilting: Quilted in slightly wavy, unevenly spaced, mostly parallel but crossed at random points lines. Free form quilting. This is a quilting pattern I recently saw in a magazine and have wanted to try ever since I saw it. The quilting represents scent wafting off the brown spices. That’s my story and I’m sticking too it. Used medium brown 100% polyester thread (Omni from Superior Threads-named "Allspice". Even the name of the thread is appropriate for this quilt.) 7 bobbins. Quilting by Patty.
- Backing: Pieced back from brown and gold fabric with stripes of various prints, very pretty!
- Batting: 80% cotton/20% polyester “Comfort Blend” from Winline
- Binding: To be done by Aunt Linda.
- Pattern: Inspired by “Spice Market" by Vicky Wozniak from a McCall's advertisement.
- Piecing by Aunt Linda
- Pinned into frame September 14, 2021. Quilting on long arm quilter September 14-16, 2021. (Patty).
- Binding by Aunt Linda.
- QC by Sally
