Waste Knot
                  Quilt #8.  I made this between Sept 2016 and Jan 2017, which was 2 years after my sister (she's Bothtwins here on QB.M) and I started quilting.  Pattern is by Susan Fuquay and sold through American Quilt Retailer as an individual pattern from their magazine, Vol. 14, Issue 83.  The quilt - front, back, scrappy binding and 4 pillowcases - is all batiks, with a Hobbs Tuscany Silk batt and top-stitched by Lyn of Camlyn Quilts in Marysville, WA.  It's the perfect quilt for summers in the Pacific NW. The original pattern is 3 by 3 blocks, a lap size quilt about 54" square.  This one is 6 by 6 blocks, finished size 95" x 95".   It's one of those quilts that are perfect for batiks.  It was such a fun project that I want to make it again.  The lap size should go fast.  Lesson learned: I really, really like to quilt with batiks.  I like the feel of the fabric, the patterns, the colors, all of it.  Plus the calico makes it perfect.  That's Princess Tiara.  ........... Posted 01-02-19
