(8) The Quilt Show: Easy Patchwork Math with Lynn Wilder - Square in a Square. Untitled. More fun with 2" strips and 3.5" squares!

Lap Quilt size approx 57.5"X 68"and uses 20 blocks set with sashing!
This quilt started as a pile of UFO orphan blocks! I had played with this idea (without sashings) for a while and had a good stack of blocks started. I did have 20 of these pineapple blossom blocks done, it wasn't quite enough for a lap quilt, but the thought occured to me if I added sashings, and cornerstones...that it would be big enough for the center. This quilt is related more towards the "geese in the corner" style of log cabin, than it is a true pineapple block, because the triangle corners are only sewn to two opposite diagonal sides. The block logs are cut from 2" scrap strips I already had waiting for me in the 2" scrap strip bin, and the pineapple corners are cut from 3.5" light strips. For each 9" block you will need: Here is round 2! Paper-pieced Bali Wedding Star pattern.
I cannot believe I didn’t blog about this quilt! This quilt has such a story to tell. The piecer of this quilt – Lorna – had been bringing me quilts for a while. Lots of fabulous quilts! I kept telling her, “Lorna! You need to enter your quilts in a national contest!” Finally, she called me in March, 2015. Then, in late spring, early summer, she called me and said she had been to the doctor for a cough that wouldn’t clear up and for back pain.
I pushed back every other quilt that was in my queue at that time (I have the most understanding clients) and put her quilt on the frame immediately. I struggled a bit with the quilting design, but I finally wound up with a sun motif, which included lots of little tiny pearls. Lorna got the word on March 3, 2016 that her quilt had indeed been juried into the Paducah 2016 Quilt show. While quilting this quilt, a phrase Lorna said kept going through my mind, “This quilt means the world to me”. I miss you Lorna. hmmm. Like this: Like Loading... What a fun custom to quilt! This was made by the Wanna Bees of WAQG as a donation to the MDAnderson Ovarian Cancer Quilt Project 2015.
