This is Eileen’s Canadian Sampler Quilt, it was a BOM project by Sew Sisters in 2017 to celebrate Canada’s 150th Birthday. Each block was designed by a Canadian designer and Lori and I were pleased to be asked to participate in this project. We designed block #8 which was the Snowflake block you see above. We chose a snowflake for our block as it is a reflection of our love for winter in Canada.
I quilted it with the Bora Bora pantograph, giving it the feel of wind or clouds across the blocks. I used white So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting. The fabrics are Northcott Colourworks Premium Solids ( Cardinal and Snow).
There are a lot of unique and fun blocks in this quilt!
On the deck, against the water and sky, a superb setting for the red and white. Lovely blocks, and your quilting sets it off just right. EH!.
ReplyDeleteEh! Had to laugh at that. What a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Liked your block best. Whole effect is graphic and stunning. What does the Morse Code block say?
ReplyDeleteThe block spells ‘Canada’
