For three years, Dena and I have hosted a block of the month for our guild -- Maritime Modern Quilt Guild.
This year's version was based on the Communique Quilt by Mouse in my Pocket. We used the throw size, breaking it up into 9 sections.
I had an idea to use the same block throughout the quilt. I used a star fabric in the centre of each block and a variety of Kona solids for the star points.
I decided to use Kona Natural for the background, the long 2-inch strips, and the 2-inch units. I was crazy enough to make 4-inch sawtooth stars, but not crazy enough to make 2-inch ones. 😬
A few months in, I was regretting making the 4-inch stars, but I kept going because I had a vision.
It was worth it in the end!
This quilt top will be sent to be professionally quilted as I won a longarming prize from Sandra @ Musings of Menopausal Melon for her annual QAL earlier this year. Now that the Canada Post strike is over, I'll be able to ship it.
The quilt top is beautiful, Anja! I love the way you incorporated prints and look forward to the collaboration between you and the longarm quilter.
