Dream

Meet Dream. A UFO from 2022! 

I started this quilt in response to a guild challenge to work in a monochromatic color palette with the option of adding one other accent color. Using just scraps, I made the quilt top, did much of the quilting and then it sat, and sat, and sat for 3 1/2 years!

But now it is done! I adding some big stitch quilting which I think adds a lot to the piece although it is hard to photograph.

The quilt is faced and finishes 18.5" wide by 14.5" tall.

Have a wonderful day! Patty

Bee Blocks - April and May

The 2026 season of the @unscriptedquiltsbee began in March and has gotten off to a great start!

For April, @feltlikesweets sent each of us a unique section of a black and white photo and asked that we recreate using a color palette derived by 5 columns in the Kona color chart. 

I can't share the photo with you or any bee members yet but it will be fun to see this come together. I am curious on what you think that photo (at the top of this post) represents!

For May, @ellyn asked for large arrows in a basic primary color. This was a lot of fun to create and is 18.5" square.

My month is June and I've just mailed out a FQ to each bee member so it is ready to go once I share the prompt.

You can see my previous blocks here and the quilt I made last year.

Have a wonderful day! Patty

Singularity Center Block

I am a member of Triangle MQG and we are doing our very first guild QAL using the Singularity quilt from the MQG. The quilt is made up of HST and the center part - shown above - uses HSTs that finish at an inch!

I didn't actually read the pattern (which is available free to MQG members) to assemble the center but instead used my friends finished center to lay out the pieces. It is very possible I've messed something up but if you see something, don't tell me! 

There are 4 rounds of sewing in the quilt but I will likely make a smaller quilt and do only 3 rounds.

Have a wonderful day! Patty
