See???? I wasn't fibbing, I really do have quilty things to post this year! This is Cascades, a pattern by Black Cat designs and it is my first finish for 2011. This was a really easy pattern, though I would caution anyone who purchases it that there is a major error in the directions. The pattern says to cut 12 3/4 inch squares for the setting triangles when they actually should be 14" square. The details of the correction can be found here.Despite the frustration of the pattern error, I have to say I enjoyed making this quilt, and it will now hang at the Quilting Connection in Ames, Iowa. I am hoping to teach a class if there is enough interest. I think I'd like to make this quilt again, though this time I would use two more closely related colors so one would blend into the next, use more fabrics, have a wider outter border and make it queen sized to fit my bed.
For now though, I am off to continue work on a baby quilt for my newest grandson, Tanner, pics to follow soon, of course.
Happy Quilting,
Lisa

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, I didn’t know you were also a sane quilter, LOL. Hope all is well with you and that you will be attending or teaching somewhere this year where I can see you again! Stop by and visit on my blog now and then, OK? Hugs, Cathy
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy!
ReplyDeleteYes, long time sane quilter too, 22+ years. I see your blog posts in Google reader, I will have to visit in 'person' so I can leave you comments on your very cool works!
Nothing is in the works for teaching, but I am going to go to St. Louis this coming June. Went last year and it was a blast!
