Finished my Black/White Nine-Patches
Here is the third Block Lotto quilt finished. It took a lot of design wall play to figure out how these blocks wanted to live together. The blocks looked better to me when they were “fenced in” with my hand-dyed fabrics. Each one became its own quilt — and the workmanship showed up so nicely. My long-arm quilter, Charlene Koppenol, designed the pattern for the dark blocks. It looks like globes and fits the international flavor of Block Lotto. I showed the quilt at my guild meeting tonight and there were lots of happy sighs and murmurs. Applause, too.
It is a knockout! I wish everyone could see it in person. I love what you did with the sashing and your hand dyes, so creataive. Just beautiful.
The colorful scrappy border really makes those black and white blocks sparkle. Love it!
FYI, I reduced the size of your other two photos and added them to the post so everyone can get a look at the quilting and the backing you chose for your quilt.
You really brought those squares to life! Well done, again. Thank you, Sophie – it was hard to see any detail in the original picture. We computer challenged folks appreciate your help.
What a great result! Glad you were a winner.
Holy cow! Your sashing idea is truly amazing! Just gorgeous!!!! Thank you so much for posting pictures of it.
What a terrific setting! Great job.
WOW!!! Great setting, I love it a lot!!!
