::Sister Quilt::

April 6, 2011 By Katie

This value quilt will go home with niece Ella to Northern Ireland after we all meet up for vacation in California.  It has been hanging for ages as a class sample and not till I had it on the design wall at home did I discover I had a whole row off by one.  Whoops.  It has so many medium valued squares it was hard to tell.

I never thought I would say this, but after working on this, new shop samples and nephew Ethan’s quilt I’m a little burnt out on half square triangles.  But with all the output of energy for the book my creative energy is low and I’m on a cross it off the list marathon for what is around here unfinished.

There are some great fabrics from my stash in this one.  Some pretty old now.

I quilted in a diagonal random cross hatch, seen better from the back.

I’m hoping the backing will be the ‘older girl’ fabric.  I’m so thrilled I scored it.  The back is the same simple design as Ella’s brother’s quilt.

I’m smitten with the Alexander Henry Heath in quilting weight.  I used it for the binding and to connect the back.

I’ll have to get a photo of both quilts together when I am in sunny California, not mossy Washington.

I have two small value quilt shop samples to do and a Value Class to teach tonight and then I think I’m done with Half Square Triangles for awhile.

Here’s a rerun of Ethan’s Quilt.

and the back.

Happy Wednesday!

    I just love your value quilts and can’t wait to try one of my own! I see a lot of half square triangles in my future …

    These are both so fun. I love to look at the fabrics in scrappy quilts–it’s kind of like a time capsule. And I agree with the AH heath–great fabric!

    I just love both of those quilts! I can’t wait to start one myself. I need to be finishing and crossing things off my list too, but some how I just keep adding new things to the list! hehehe.

    I love your pieced backs. I have done a few and it really almost makes it two quilts in one. I am also envious of your crosshatch machine quilting. When I try doing that I almost always end up with little pleats.

      my old machine did that. I still baste too much because of it.

    You keep talking about “the book”. I’m new to your blog so please tell me what book you are talking about. Your own – I hope!

    They’re both great! Lucky kids. I can’t spot the ‘off row.’

    Love this sister and brother quilt, similar and individual at the same time. So much gorgeous fabric in there! And your backings are a great complement to the front.
    Look forward to your book …..
