This is a remake of an older quilt using modern fabrics. I don't know the name of it, I just saw a picture of the quilt. Those little HSTs finish at 1.5"! I used the wondercut ruler to cut all the HSTs. But the small size made them a bear to sew. I'm saying this now so I remember next time someone asks me to make them.
She chose 7 different fabrics for the brown spools and over 30 different colored fabrics for the colored prints. I had some scraps from the last two quilts I have made for her and was able to use some of them for the large squares. I love the navy and white borders. Let's the center shine.
Linking with Busy Hands Quilts and Crazy Mom Quilts.
So cute - I like how the alternate blocks and all the white space give the spools room to "breathe." A fresh modern take on a traditional pattern.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!

ReplyDeleteMight have been a pain to make the small HST's, but sure adds a bunch to the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThose triangles are little, but they make the quilt so much more fun!
ReplyDeleteVery very nice!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very unusual Spool quilt. LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice finish! You know, this is a beautiful quilt with all the details and colors! I bet those HSTs were a bear to sew! When I first saw it, I immediately thought of multicolored baseballs - as the HSTs look like the thread on baseballs! Great quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful fresh quilt. love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I've been having fun catching up on your blog this morning.
