…this fabric??
\n\"Jacobean
\nOne of the pleasures of quilting is being able to occasionally share fabric with a quilting friend. I was at my favorite store last year, and saw a line of beautiful fabrics with a Jacobean look. I bought some, and on a spur of the moment decision, bought some for my friend, Cop Car<\/a>. I know she loves fabric, but we’ve never had the chance to quilt together, so I’m just learning about her taste in fabric. It seems that I was a bit restrained. She loves the bright fabric that I’m just learning to incorporate into my quilts
\nSo, I’ve been struggling to find a more modern way to set the fabrics so they weren’t so very restrained. Fons & Porter have a set of templates that can be used to cut Drunkard’s Path blocks, and they featured a very modern wall hanging based on block that were cut with these templates. A light went on over my head!
\nThis is what a sample block looks like:
\n\"Curved
\nI’ve created about 30 blocks. It was a fun Saturday night, cutting and snipping, and sewing and cutting a bit more. I’ve laid out twenty of the blocks on the table to get a feel for what they might look like:
\n\"20
\nI tried several arrangements, and finally sewed the blocks together Sunday. Now I have to decide what border and binding fabric to use. Something simple, I think, that won’t draw your eyes away from the blocks. I was thinking about adding a few jet beads here and there to give it a little sparkle.
\nWhat do you think? Is this a dog, or can I share it with my friends??
\nWhen the top is done, I’ll post a picture of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
