Strike A Chord - Wedding Gift from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee

 


Strike A Chord  -  A wedding gift 

After being widowed in 2016, our sister found love again and was married earlier this year.  We are so happy for her ....  so to celebrate, I made a quilt from one of my latest patterns (Strike A Chord) for the newlyweds.




Contrary to the number of pieces, the quilt came together quickly with strip piecing.  The new couple like the deep warm colors of fall, especially brown.  Using my abundance of fall fabric, I approached the blocks with a scrappier theme.

New Pattern - Strike A Chord Quilt from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee



Introducing - Strike A Chord, published by Black Cat Creations.

For this design, it started with a bundle of Tim Holtz Fabric, Abandoned 2 by Free Spirit.  All my favorite elements had to be included .... something geometric, stars and plus blocks.  The background is a Moda Grunge.

I made several test blocks and played with settings; both on point and horizontal, each using just 12 blocks.  I just couldn't decide on the setting, so I wrote the pattern for both.
  


The horizontal version uses a line from Art Gallery Fabrics, "Kismet" by Sharon Holland.
