This quilt went together rather quickly. I also found another batik that coordinates well with the two main colors.I used it as an inner border creating a buffer between the blocks and the outer border. This quilt is listed for sale on ebay.

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.

This quilt is being made using the “Hunter Star” block.I used templates to cut out the different odd shaped patches.I decided this time to step away from a scrappy look and only go with two fabrics in the blocks.I’ve chosen medium and dark blue batiks.
A few blocks up on the design board and the pattern is beginning to emerge.

Sewing blocks together.This little Featherweight sewing machine is my go to work horse.It moves along pretty quickly for an old timer and is a joy to work with.I do most of my piecing on this machine.

I’ve made a bunch of blocks and put them up on my design board.Look close and you will see there are actually two different blocks,one mostly light the other mostly dark.You can now see the pattern created and the importance of value placement.
