I used batiks for "Toward the Morning," the mini I sent to Kathy.
This was the first time I've made a flange binding.
The triangles-in-formation design is from a stenciled frieze at Crab Tree Farm which I toured in July, 2019 .
The colorway was inspired by the sunrise photo I took when we were in Crisfield, Maryland, on our 2019 Road Scholar trip. (Little did we know that we wouldn't have RS trips in 2020 or 2021.)
The swap was fun and I plan to enter next year!

Beautiful! Swaps are stressing and fun at the same time, especially when you don't know your partner.
ReplyDeleteGiven and received swap quilts... SEW pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool!! did you guys know each other before? her quilt to you so so pretty and yours back is too! I like seeing what the inspiration was
ReplyDeleteThanks Nann for including me in your blog post.
ReplyDeleteI agree the MQG swap was a fun and rewarding experience.
My inspiration was a quilt pattern from the MQG member file called Solar Flare. When you mentioned delving into African wax prints I initially tried using them but the "giraffe" batik I had seemed a better fit.
I too look forward to participating again next year.
Thanks for being a delightful partner.
I especially like that you had pictures of your inspirations!
