A purple quilt for a daughter-in-law that loves the color purple.
I don’t know if there is an official name for this quilt. It begins as a disappearing 9 patch.
Then sashing is added between all the blocks.
So I call it a “floating” disappearing 9 patch. It turns out the fabric I chose for the sashing/background is variegated or ombre, so not the best choice for a “floating” look.
I had most of this quilt’s pieces cut 2 years ago, waiting to get sewn.
A couple of tools that I cannot live without in my sewing space. The first one is old...the chalk liner.
This plastic steam roller (as I call it) is new for me. But we became bestest friends right from the start. It flattens seams better than an iron! However have I sewn for so many years without this simple tool?!
What a great feeling to get purchases out of the drawers and under the needle and to completion. All that is left is to pack it up and send it to a new home.
Finished size is 77.5”x62”
I continue to work on more of those projects that are sitting in the drawers waiting their turn to come out and be something.
