Blogger's Quilt Festival, part 2: Homespun Sampler

Here is my second entry in the Blogger's Quilt Festival .




I joined many other quiltmakers in the Moda Blockheads weekly quilt-along.  I collected patterns for a couple of months. Once I took the plunge I tuned in eagerly every Wednesday for the new block. I decided to use homespun plaids, a fabric genre well-represented in my stash.  That way I wouldn't have to buy any more. (Of course Moda's intent was to showcase its designers and their fabric lines.)

The Stashbusters Yahoo group had an  Irish Chain Challenge. That inspired the chain setting.

I had it professionally quilted.

Moda is currently running Blockheads II but I haven't joined.  Yet. :)

Blogger has stopped sending comments by email.  Without that feature it's hard to respond personally.   I think I've fixed it. (Leave a comment and we can test the fix.)

    Hi Nann! I just love the Irish Chain setting for all of these blocks. It really ties them all together yet lets them shine individually. Nice job! ~smile~ Roseanne
