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
