I had every intention of quilting this little top before I sent out all the quilts to C&T Publishing for the in-house photography but that just did not happen.
I have been hand stitching a lot lately. If I don't have hand work in the evenings, I miss it. Winding down while 'Watching' tv is just not the same.
It is far from perfect, just the way I like it. No two triangles are the same in spite of being made from a stack. These free-form blocks are pretty cool!
It must be my publisher's favorite quilt since it made it in two of the chapters in my book. It is one of the reasons why I chose to teach Hourglass Twist class at MAQ. Some of the blocks from this technique land themselves into more than one quilt. The possibilities are endless and I can not wait for my students to explore more.
It has not found it's permanent home yet. I am still wondering what to call it.
Movement, texture and contrast all in one - It packs a lot of punch for it's size.
It would be an Amish quilt if the HSTs were precise.
It would be an Indian ralli quilt if it had borders and some reverse applique added to it.
It is somewhat close to perfect to be a Gee's bend quilt.
But it reminds me of all three cultures. I am calling it The Red Quilt.
I finished it with freehand, organic hand quilting using Valdani silk thread.

I am ready for some piecing fun.
I hope you all are having a great week!
