It's a great trick which I learned about almost 20 yrs ago, that if one chooses a multi-colored print, then one can extract out individual colors from the print & it guarantees a harmonious blending.</p></div></div><div class="comment-list__item-footer" style="box-sizing: border-box;

<span style="font-size: large;">Then I got involved with the directionality of the multi-colored fabric and realized how unique that was to this fabric. So I decided that pinwheels could keep for another project.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I hadn't planned to participate
in making this Raffle Quilt, thinking I wouldn't have the time. This is for
Empire Quilt Guild's 2019 Show coming up on the weekend of March 23-24.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But when I saw the Block, I couldn't resist. Am a blue green lover & this specifically asked for that, brights, emeralds, royal blues, teals, purple, jewel tones, my favorite palette. For this less common take on a log cabin block (which I'd never yet done).</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I saw the coloring of the blocks for this Quilt & realized I wanted to make a couple of blocks. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Then too I had the beautiful lilac/purples print from Liberty, juxtaposed w/ the chalk stripe, a nice, textilian interplay of bold & brash along side banker-style conservative gave me a chuckle.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Have been working
on organizing my fabric collection (known among Quilters as one’s fabric stash)
among other things.<span> </span>Early this Summer I
recall seeing a cute fabric in that stash of little rocketships in Blue on a White ground.<span> </span>I recall thinking a little boy would love this
fabric.<span> </span>Well a bit later I learned that
an old friend had changed his mind about having kids and somewhat later in life
has decided to become a Father.<span> </span>So I
made a baby quilt for his new son.<span> </span>What
a happy thing to hear about.<span> </span>He has no
idea, when he sent me a picture of his baby boy </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">and</span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I looked into that little face,
the idea of this baby quilt was born.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Turned out so well, I am delighted with it.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Really lovely, these patterns. Most credit & praise go to Hoffman Fabrics, as it's from their Bali Pops & it's also their pattern, even in the same colorway as shown in their offering.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.4667px;">So it's almost a copy, which is why I only showed it to share & enjoy, didn't have it judged.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The only difference is they (Hoffman) bordered it in teal, no inner border or outer decorative border as here, which I've added encased in the olive. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I saw this solid olive fabric & really had to have it for its texture, it's actually 40% linen & I decided not to care about that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">This is also my first experience with using precut fabrics other than charm squares. It's a huge timesaver since you can just dive directly into piecing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">It was some time ago, but I recall experimenting with an assembly technique where first one sewed the strips together side by side to about 10" deep, then made a tube of 2 layers of that. Then using a plastic square ruler on angle, cut triangles of the strips & then combined those triangles into new blocks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Then later reassembled newly made blocks like this into larger blocks, then rows. Can't say enough about using precuts --- fun, fun, fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.4667px;">I was coming home from a Quilter’s Guild meeting with a fresh collection of scraps. One fabric literally fell on top of another & I noticed it & admired the combination. It was a light gray blue & pink paisley print which fell on top of a pink & white gingham check. These looked so nice together & I liked the squares motif in combination with a gingham check (a woven).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I looked at them & made mental note, but they seemed insistent & wanted me to work on them, designing & assembling this top, even though I have at least 6 other existing quilt tops I could be working on.
Here it is, finally finished.
Simple quilting, really just to accentuate the patterned piece work.
<a href="http://s41.photobucket.com/user/krsternberg/media/Fall%20Winter%202012/Jan%202015/P1110435_zps2838d81a.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e260/krsternberg/Fall%20Winter%202012/Jan%202015/P1110435_zps2838d81a.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo P1110435_zps2838d81a.jpg"/></a>

Hard to see, but the black background has a small polka dot design.
The black fabric printed in small paisley design is what got me started with this Quilt’s design. This print reminded me of challis, a lovely fabric often used in dresses & skirts because of its particular weight & nice drape. Makes for lovely skirts with a swoopy kind of movement to the fabric as one moves around and the fabric moves, it hangs so beautifully. They’re often printed in paisley & I recall wanting a skirt made of it which would move so gracefully. (Happily, I did find one.)

She asked if I kept pictures of it, as other than one photo with the baby wrapped in the quilt, she had no pictures of it. Happily, I did take pix & kept them, primarily to document the work for myself.
<a href="http://s41.photobucket.com/user/krsternberg/media/Completed%20Baby%20Quilt/P1000328.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e260/krsternberg/Completed%20Baby%20Quilt/th_P1000328.jpg" border="0" alt="Completed Baby Quilt photo P1000328.jpg" style=""></a>
This was an interesting design exercise as I used some commercial fabric panels of animals (the animals were suggested by my friend Denise who commissioned it, as the girl's family lives on a farm) & then added some striped fabrics around individual blocks of patterns & tried to color it in ways that would make it more girl-friendly.
Here it's shown slung over a bench at a park in front of my home.

Different views to show the individual blocks and the quilting I chose to do.

Frogs & monkeys & bunnies & kittens, very little kid creatures, they all seem so cheery & kid friendly.

The whole thing again, after first laundering, I love how crinkly it gets after washing & drying!

The final view is of the back; I did the bindings to match so they just disappear into the background & let the animal themed panels of fabric be the star attractions.

So I wanted to do justice to these beautifully colored & wonderfully laid out blocks.
Initially, I'd picked an off-white to try as border & sashing, but it washed everything out & the group voted it out. Then I saw the light green.
<a href="http://s41.photobucket.com/user/krsternberg/media/April%202014%20Quilty/P1100870_zpse6f3301e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e260/krsternberg/April%202014%20Quilty/P1100870_zpse6f3301e.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo P1100870_zpse6f3301e.jpg"/></a>
Some of these are Kaffe Fassett fabrics, a bit too bright for me. I auditioned yellow, orange, peach as the inner border, but they were just too loud for me. I hope / feel my choice of turquoise pulls it together well.
I think the Maker here has a great color sense (I've since learned her name is Karla). I really admire how she could make such beautifully blended & harmonious arrangements of such intense, bright colors.

Sometimes charity work allows one to work on really special work by others, a terrific experience all around. I had good fun, learned a lot & feel I did great service to these wonderful blocks.

A fellow quilter at a Quilting forum said the following:
" I love when people post pictures and I get to see quilts I would never have dreamed of and yet they are wonderful."
That's pretty much how I feel, I really got a kick out of working in colors & patterns which I would have never have chosen on my own.
I’ve since learned we’ll be able to have this top long-arm quilted by another of our Guild members & that it’ll be backed with the same light green as the borders. I’m so pleased; I look forward to seeing it completed in the Fall. Karen R.

I had these lovely charm squares in vibrant prints. Seemed like it'd be nice.
Against the white it's so crisp & with a subtle directional, white-on-white provides a sharp contrast.

I used a sheer white fabric with it that I'd found & layered it with a sheet of fusible interfacing between the layers to give it more stability.
Such fun!

And on the back, I took a chance to play a little bit more.

Doing these can be fast & fun & make for small lessons of their own in the process.

These quilt blocks were made from what I chose to call 'unfortunately colored' charms squares which came my way some how or another. While the colors are questionable, the way they're laid out, there's enough color contrast to play up the graphic quality of this particular design.
On the reverse, a bit of piecing.
