Susie's Whack a Roo Quilt

Here is Susie's quilt, called Whack a Roo.  


I wanted to emphasis the off set blocks, and not take away from the center squares.


 Before

After


Excuse the blurry shot, but you can see how I used the design in the fabric for the quilting.  I like this technique because the quilting does not interfere with the print of the fabric.


This quilt was pieced so well.  Good piecing expands the possibilities for quilting choices, especially when doing ruler work.  Straight lines on crocked piecing is not a good combination.  So, thank you Susie.

Another heat wave headed our way this weekend, I am headed to the Oregon Coast.  Happy Face!

Thanks for joining me on my quilting journeys, I appreciate it.

  3. Great job, I like the straight lines in the blocks , it really creates a nice frame for the blocks. And the echo quilting is perfect for the border.

    See you on the coast!
