::Mod TV Quilt Top::

sewkatiedid/mod tv quilt topI have a million projects in some stage of process so it seemed like a perfect time to start something new.

sewkatiedid/mod tvIt 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.

sewkatiedidIt didn’t even make it to the hoop.  This is how far I made it on the piece of Osnaburgh that was already there.

sewkatiedid/mod tv quilt topI 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.

sewkatiedid/mod tv quilt topI even like it from the back.

sewkatiedidOf 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.

quilting modern mod tvIf 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!

    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.

  7. 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!

    I’ve been wanting to use my double gauze in a quilt for a while. Love how yours turned out! Fun quilt!

  12. Stacy says:

    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!
