I love this quilt! I feel like it’s okay to gush a bit because I didn’t actually make it. This is variation on my modern wedding ring quilt that I designed and made for the NY Modern Quilt Guild challenge last fall.
I created the design for this version and my Mom sewed it up while she was here last month. She is a master at the low volume concept, and I think this quilt has so much interest. The finished quilt will be a bit of both of us. You see, I am going to quilt and bind it and produce the pattern so you can make one too.
I got so excited about this quilt, I decided to start quilting it as soon as possible, which turned out to be the weekend before we left for Hawaii. Unfortunately, I had taken my regular machine in for cleaning and tune-up while we were gone (I would miss it too much if I was home without it!).
I basted. I got out my Sashiko machine. I wasted a bunch of time and got very little done. My Sashiko machine is really acting up and I am so frustrated with it. Now I am unpicking the quilting I did do and debating about redoing it on my machine or taking it to be long-arm quilted. What a bummer.
But as hiccups go, this is pretty minor. I am still really excited about this quilt and even started the illustrations for the pattern during our (looooong) flight.
So at least I have that going for me.

**note to reader who inquired about this quilt and pattern previously. I apologize for the lack of response. The email address attached to your message didn’t work. Yes! there will be a pattern!
Sharon this is an awesome design. I love the scrappiness of it. Hugs
Love this quilt. I hope your machine behaves!
This is a very neat looking top! Hope you had a great time in Hawaii! Brought some fabrics back? :)))
Also, just wanted to let you know that on Android tablets your blog starts after the sidebar ends. Ihad to scroll all the way down.
Doesn’t work that well on my iPad either
Oh, no! What’s with the sashiko machine? 🙁 I absolutely detest mechanical hiccups. They stress me out – I really need to learn to deal better with them. LOVE this design. 😀
