I want to say thank you to everyone that left such wonderful comments regarding my Lincoln quilt. In fact, I am a bit overwhelmed with the response.
This last week I have been working on the Domino pattern from The Casual Quilter by Robin Strobel. Several years ago I realized that I have quilting books that contain only one pattern that I am interested in and Domino is one such pattern. Once I make the one quilt I am interested in, the book is donated to the quilt guild’s library.
This quilt top went together quickly. All the blocks were pieced on Thursday & Friday and on Saturday I played with layouts. Playtime was the big reason that I liked this pattern. This is the first attempt.
A good starting place, but needs a bit more rearranging, so I moved the first column of blocks so they became the last column.
This is looking better, but what would happen if I moved the top row to the bottom?
Yes, this is the one I like the best. All that was left to do was to sew the blocks together and add the borders.
The quilt top finished at 62 1/2″ square. My current leader/ender has been 9-patch & hourglass blocks out of recycled shirt fabric. I think that I will piece that top while I am considering my next project. Next week I will be attending the HMQS in Salt Lake City, so this is a great project to finish up before I leave.
