Jemseg Dahlia

Posted on by — Leave a comment

This is a really old quilt block that I canot even find on the Internet. It’s apparently a local variation, hence the name “Jemseg” Dahlia.

They are big blocks – 18″ square and since there is some hand gathering and hand applique I am making one whole block for a wall hanging.

I’m considering making a pattern if there’s interest.

Meaghan’s quilt

Posted on by — Leave a comment

My daughter Meaghan (kid #3) hunted through my stash and gathered up all the green and purple she coudl find. Solids, prints, didn’t matter, as long as it was green or purple. She them arranged them to her liking and sewed them all together.

We did have some fabric cut into strips, which she chose for the borders – a light print for a skinny inner border (the fabric was cut that thin already) and a dark purple for the outer border.

For the back we used a purple sheet, trimmed and folded over to the front for binding. I quilted it in the ditch, nothing fancy.
