Some sweet friends helped hold up my quilt so I could get a photo--this is a really long quilt!
 |
| The 4" x 5" Block Anthology quilt was my One Monthly Goal for November. |
 |
| I used a meander style pantograph to quilt it.... |
 |
| ...and a silver gray Aurifil thread that blended into everything very nicely, I think. |
 |
| A label, of course! |
 |
| This month's Patches of Blue SAL block is the sleigh. I have decided that I want my quilt to be a "year round" blue and white quilt, so I am leaving off the snow flake applique and subbing a different block from the book for the sleigh. |
 |
| I decided on the Oak Leaf and Reel block which was too large to fit into the space, so I shrank it down a bit using my printer. Then, since the space is a rectangle, I made more stars (there are other stars around the quilt) to fill up the space on the side. This is the final block, so now I can start putting everything together--can't wait to see how it will look! Linking with One Monthly Goal HERE |
Your 4x5 is beautiful Karen!
ReplyDeleteYour anthology quilt is a winner! I think sometimes choosing the thread color is one of the hardest steps. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat block substitution choice! Very pretty.
Wow, that is a really impressive quilt. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a magnificent finish, Karen! I wasn't sure about 4" x 5" blocks when I first saw them but they create a beautiful quilt. I'm so impressed with the detail and variety of blocks, your coordination of colors, and the size! Congratulations on such a great finish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of little blocks; you must have the patience of a saint! I like your grey backing, it sets all those colours off beautifully.
ReplyDeleteFantastic finish!! So much of your craftsmanship is showcased in this finish Karen.

Wow, your quilt is gorgeous! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteLori from Humble Quilts mentioned some type of blue and white quilt exhibit coming up and that she might enter a quilt. I immediately thought of you with so many blue and white quilts.
