Oh, this turned out to be the perfect project during work on the house. Between the pounding on the roof and the dogs barking at the workers, simple sewing was all I could do. And while there are many parts, this is simple
I found this to be a very inspiring project. The following would be a great layout too.
But as mentioned in an earlier post, my inspiration was a vintage quilt owned by a Roberta Horton, who passed away this week. This quilt was featured in her book, Scrap Quilts: The Art of Making Do. Here it is:
Roberta Horton was a giant in the quilt world. Here is my take on her quilt.
I didn’t spend any time laying things out ahead of time. I just grabbed and sewed. Of course I ended up with two like pieces next to each other.
Here is my finished top. It measures 60 by 80 so it will be a good size throw.
I will take this back to Michigan to quilt on my long arm. Have a great day!
I just love your quilt! I was so sorry to read about Roberta Horton passing. Hugs,
Such a pretty way to remember Roberta this week!
Honestly, at first I wasn’t exactly sure how all those different blocks would work together, but I love the way they ended up! I can imagine wrapping it up on an evening to binge watch tv. Beautiful job.
WOW! That is a wonderful quilt!
I would enjoy curling up under that quilt with a good book!
The colors are so rich and varied, it is a very pretty quilt. Roberta Horton was an inspiration to many quilters, including me.
What a lovely quilt. So scrappy but every thing works together. I’m working on a very scrappy quilt but it isn’t to be working.
Absolutely love it. Brilliant.
