Green T

Pam Brennan

Color placement within the block is key to the design of this quilt. I had some Island Batik strip sets in assorted greens and thought it was time to put them to work in a quilt. I had made this log cabin variation block many times before mostly in scrappy renditions and only a few times as the letter “T”. While sewing the blocks and placing the colors the name of the quilt came naturally.

As I was finishing up another quilt for a customer I had shown that person pictures of blocks I was working on and that I was naming the quilt “Green T”. To my surprise the quilt was bought by that person even before it was finished! The quilt measures 86”x101” and has already been finished and sent to it’s new home. I’m thinking maybe making a blue and white quilt in the same style and naming it “Ice T” ? It’s a fun block to make and I enjoy working with those beautiful batik strip sets.

I’m a work from home long arm quilter/quiltmaker.I learned to sew on my Nana’s treadle machine when I was around 8 yrs old but didn’t start making quilts til much later in life.I’m mostly self taught and have been making quilts for 30+ years.I enjoy making scrappy quilts and love working with batiks,but I have a fondness for antique reproduction fabrics as well.I tend to work with more traditional style block patterns but I put my own spin on them with use of fabric choices.I also do some pantograph quilting for people who want their tops finished into quilts.
