It started as an effort to puzzle out how to make a block similar to but different than a Jen Kingwell block. Then I figured I should do something with the block, so I built on it in rounds, round robin style. I used up all the fabric I had since these were scraps and FQs to begin with, so the finished size is about 38".
For the backing, I used a lovely thick soft flannel gifted by a friend. It was just wide enough, and it couldn't be more perfect for this little quilt. The quilting is a simple loose meander to keep it soft.
After a spin through the washer and dryer, this little quilt will go to Operation Shower.

LOOOOVE it!!! I like the unique way the block spins with the 9 patch in the center
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you couldn't have found a more perfect backing! The soft stipple makes the quilt look really soft and I'm sure it will be loved by its recipient.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful way to make a sample block into something usable, Jan. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet medallion quilt and a beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteI mocked up your block in my EQ8 and came up with a possible Christmas wall hanging! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteReally sweet and lovely.:)
ReplyDeleteSoft and sweet! I love how you chose a green binding so the edges sort of fade out quietly. Perfect for any baby falling asleep :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt! Take care, Mary.
