Welcome to my day on the 75 Fun Fat-Quarter Quilts book blog hop! Wow. That was a mouthful.
I am so excited to share this with you. Have you been having fun seeing all the quilts so far and entering for a chance to win? I hope so. This is really a great book with a lot of cool quilts. I think what makes it so much fun is that you are getting a lot of different styles with all the different designers.
Here is my quilt called Log Jam.
The best part about the book is that we were all challenged to make variations on our designs. You know that I love to encourage everyone to make a quilt “their own” and with so many variations for each quilt, every quilter can do just that!
My quilt has a total of 8 variations! And I am sure you all can come up with even more.
One of my variations is called Alter Ego. I thought it would be fun to see, if you bought a few more fat quarters (oh, what a hardship!) and some more white background fabric, if you could get 2 quilts at once. And you can! Log Jam with lots of colored squares and triangles and it’s Alter Ego with lots of white and just a few colored squares and triangles! You can see Alter Ego on the cover of the book (along with a cut out of Log Jam). And here is a close up.
I had so much fun playing with all these fun, bright fabrics from Timeless Treasures.
Doesn’t the quilt remind you of sherbet?
And I am so lucky to work with an wonderful long arm quilter, Crystal Zagnoli of The Quilted Cricket.
While I was at Quilt Market in Houston back in October, I had a chance to record a video for C&T about my quilt and my block. You can see it here: I tell you all about my block and the quilts Log Jam and Alter Ego.
Would you like another chance to win a copy of the book? Great!
