I have a finish to share....
Just my 5th full-sized quilt for 2023.
I based this quilt on a few I had seen on Pinterest.
It seems it was popular back in 2009 on
"Film In the Fridge" blog
A tutorial for the blocks is here
I initially quilted in the centre of the white strips in a
grid design,
and decided it wasn't enough.
So then I went back and did a random square spiral!
Still not finished....
I used perle thread in black to hand quilt each block!
I think it adds something extra to the final look.
So "In the Sticks" is done!
Yes, I think our friends believe we live "in the sticks" as
described by Merriam-Webster:
"an area in the country that is far away from towns and cities"
so that is what I've named it.
The back is all made from stash!
Perhaps they think we live in this house?
