I have a million projects in some stage of process so it seemed like a perfect time to start something new.
It all came about due to this reversible double gauze I bought at Drygoods. My plan was some hand-stitchin’ on it while on our Tahoe trip.
It didn’t even make it to the hoop. This is how far I made it on the piece of Osnaburgh that was already there.
I wanted to put both the Osnaburgh and the double-gauze to work, so I started by digging through Quilting Modern to find the perfect quilt to remake. I decided on Mod TV since I have some Log Cabin Workshops coming up. Then it was onto the color combo. My fabric stack was inspired somewhat by this quilt.
I even like it from the back.
Of course I had zero fabric for the back in my stash that went, so I again made a trip to Drygoods and picked up this lovely flannel Timeless Treasures crosshatch. With a little added piecing it will be done and ready to quilt with the same design as the book’s version.
If you are looking for a quick quilt top this pattern is the one to go for. I cut all my centers, placed them up on my design wall and essentially went by the photo in the book.
Happy Sunday sewing!
Oh, I see some fabulous quilting in the negative space. I look forward to seeing how you finish it. Wonderful!
I absolutely LOVE this!!!
Gorgeous…….just love it.
Fantastic – so modern and yet so retro. I love the simplicity of most of the blocks, which contrast with the block with smaller pieces, it really draws your eye around the quilt top.
very amusing comment, never a wrong time to start something new!
I love this! I mean love this a lot!!! You are an AWESOME quilter 🙂
I love your colour choices. Teal, grey, and orange seem to be sneaking their way into a lot of things I’ve been making too. I’ve looked over this pattern in your book many times… maybe soon I’ll undertake it!
Totally fresh, clean and I LOVE IT!!! (Sorry for yelling……) Hugs…….
Lovely!!!
I can sew identify with you!
Love it!!
thanks Tammy! Hope you are well.

I’ve been wanting to use my double gauze in a quilt for a while. Love how yours turned out! Fun quilt!
I too love looking at my quilts from the wrong side. I always take photos of them that way & keep them in my sewing journal along with the finished work. I love the wonky tv’s. Too darn cute!
Nice pattern, I love this.
