Being more of a machine piecer myself, I am always impressed by the skill and amazed at the patience of hand piecers. As the name of the quilt suggests, this quilt is made up of 1 inch squares all of which have been hand pieced by my customer Charmaine.
This little quilt was a delight to quilt. To make the printed squares pop up, I have quilted continuous curves around the cream background squares. I love the circular effect this has created around the printed squares.
Here is a close-up of the sashing and the border.
I believe Charmaine has made a beautiful little quilt. She picked it up today and tells me she has another just like it under way - hand piecing must be rather addictive!
Beautiful quilt! Lovely handwork and quilting.
ReplyDeleteFantastic quilting! I love to see quilting that enhances the piecing. This is inspirational.
ReplyDeleteI love the closeup shots of this gorgeous little quilt. The circles are perfect around the squares. Another beautiful quilting pattern, quilted beautifully!!! xo
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that quilt - definitely going to make an inchie quilt, although not hand pieced. This quilting adds a lot of interest to the quilt - love the overall simplicity though.

I'm going to remember that red border design - love it! Also....I've always wondered how people keep their curves uniform like you did on that white border (they've always scared me!). Do you premark that or what?

ReplyDeleteI recently came across your blog and I love it. This has to be my favourite quilt of the ones that I've looked at so far. It is so detailed and beautiful and your quilting sets the tiny squares off to perfection. It is a stunning combination.
