Oh Yes, I DO Still Quilt!
I finished this sampler quilt for the shop (Hearts and Hands Quilts) a couple of weeks ago but just figured out today how to get the photos transferred from my iPhone to my laptop. Wasn't hard, I was just putting it off. Technology doesn't intimidate me, I just get tired of it sometimes! Its so needy and time-hoggish. Anyway, back to quilts. This pattern is called "Night Weave" (by Patricia Pepe) and uses the 7 1/2" X-Block ruler. I used ombre fabrics in yellow/orange and blue/aqua (manufacturer?), with a black (Michael Miller) background. The border is made from the wedge pieces left over from cutting the X-blocks, and the binding is left-over ombre fabric. Almost ALL of the fabric was used up in the quilt...a first for me! The quilt was simpler to construct than it looks and a fun way to use ombre fabrics.
