Retirement quilt

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Women

Style: Classic, Romantic, Traditional


Materials

100% cotton fabric and batting

What was your inspiration?

The block comes from the book Block Party by Marsha McKloskey. The name of the block is Swamp Patch. The colors I used were the colors that had been requested by the recipient. The hydrangea fabric was my inspiration for the other fabrics. I had all of them in my stash except for the light batik used in the blocks.

What are you most proud of?

Finishing it ahead of the deadline!!!!!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

use Triangles on a Roll, it really makes the piecing go quickly and they come out pretty square

it's actually a gift for a woman who is retiring. I was hired to make the quilt. I hope to make things for myself when I retire!!
