I'm starting a new project. It's a variation of Wild Goose Chase from
Hearth and Home and Ruby Short McKim's
101 Patchwork Patterns, 1931 and Tangled Cobwebs from
Home Art in 1933. My version is a bit different from each and adds some extra stars in the sashing. I'm going to call it Hazel Ridge Path because it's a trade with Nick the Illustrator who lives on Hazel Ridge Farm. He used some of my quilts in his book
F is for Friendship a Quilters Alphabet and even painted me for the book. He gave me the painting of me at my grandmother's treadle and I promised him a quilt.

This is the start of Hazel Ridge Path quilt. The block in the lower right was my first attempt,
but I thought the triangle units were too small compared to the triangle units in the sashing.
It took me a few tries, but I finally got the math right. The blocks should start going much faster now. |

Nick is a great painter and a great guy. He worked from a photograph he took of me in the summer of 2010. I was wearing shorts, a t-shirt and tennis shoes. He painted in the dress, corrective shoes and round glasses.
ReplyDeleteSometimes (often) it takes me a while to "see" something --- now I notice that the quilt you are sewing on the treadle is the background of your blog --- love that quilt (someday I want to make it) and I am sure Nick will appreciate the quilt you are making --- hmmm, more flying geese!
ReplyDeleteLove the additional stars in the borders!
ReplyDeleteLove the design!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous painting! I bet you are thrilled, as he will be when he gets the beautiful quilt you are making.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting! and a beautiful quilt! I wish I had paid more attention in math classes, so I could also 'do the math' and make such complex blocks all fit together so beautifully!
