Hello! If you are visiting from the 2019 Online Quilters Meet & Greet, Welcome! Our hostess, Benita of Victoriana Quilt Designs has gathered a circle of quilt bloggers as a way to connect, get acquainted and share what we do, and of course celebrate the community of quilt blogging. Even though I love Instagram and post there regularly, A Quilter's Table is my 'home base' and it's here that I share in more detail about everything I make, as well as the periodic tutorial and newsletter.
I have a deep appreciation for traditional quilting and feel a connection with it in nearly everything I sew. Though my current love is improvisational piecing and quilting, I never forget the influence of those that have gone before me. The quilt I'm choosing to share today is "Timeless", my entry in the 2019 Pantone Quilt Challenge, and a perfect example of a modern quilt being informed by a traditional block pattern. Hourglass blocks are a personal favorite, and making them in multiples makes for a fun exploration. After making oodles of them in a variety of sizes and color combos, I also used two different coral fabrics to make plenty of 'tone on tone' blocks to allow the piece some breathing room. The block-puzzling and layout for quilts such as this can be a challenge, but it's the kind of challenge I really enjoy.
So have fun continuing on with the meeting and greeting by clicking over to Benita's blog, where all the participating bloggers are listed. From there you can link over, meet new quilters, and 'Click to Enter' for a chance at the big grand prize - and it's a goodie! We're talking fabric, Aurifil thread, batting, and more!
And for those of you visiting A Quilter's Table, here's the button to click for an additional chance at winning.
