quilt!It began with three 6 pointed stars that were among my grandmother's quilt pieces. They didn't match anything else and I was thinking...what strange colors...when I realized they were VA TECH colors and I had a niece getting married in July. She and her fiance are VT alumni, into all things VT... I needed to think of a wedding present....
That was my downfall....
The idea is that the stars are falling apart and are ending up as tumbling blocks at the bottom. The letters V and T are quilted into the maroon in the middle. All of it is hand quilted.
With no pattern, and these three stars I began, and in spite of vowing to trash the thing on more than one occasion, I finally finished it three days before the wedding. I feel like I've been released from a quilt prison, and I have the scars/callouses on the ends of my fingers to prove it. I actually got to do something other than quilt for the last two evenings.
They were warned, it is officially named- "The Quilt From Hell".
I finished it at my mom's house so here it is on a bed, the quilt is queen sized, but the bed is only full so it's a bit big- then Lil was determined to get in the pic
, oh well........
The moral of the story, If you are going to make a quilt, for goodness sakes, have a pattern and don't use 6 pointed stars -those octagons are a pain and the Y seams are a nightmare.
You did a good job on it!
