Mini-Quilt #1: Furrows of Flowers
Finished: 1/8/12
Techniques: Strip Quilting, Stitch in the Ditch
Description: I have a lot of flower or leaf fabric in my stash, so I gathered them all up and choose several that coordinated. I used 2 1/2 inch strips, pieced them, then cut and stitched at angles for added interest. It reminds me of the time several friends and co-workers got together to make a quilt in one day for a friend who lost much in a house fire. We had everyone bring fabric with flowers - any kind of flowers, any sized prints, any color. The blocks were sashed with green solid fabric, and it was great how everything came together.
One funny note: In my haste to finish this mini-quilt, I added the backing fabric upside-down - a print of a golf course left over from a quilt I made for my nephew. But since no one will ever really see the back, I left it that way.
