| Prarie Quilt in Andover's Warm Fat Quarters by Edyta Sitar |
Amanda Castor at Material Girl provided a free pattern she calls Prarie Quilt. You can find her video here.
I had purchased Edyta Sitar's Warm fat quarter bundle at steep discount. I also have her "cool" bundle which I liked much better. Most of these warm colors are in the pinky orange family. I have a recipient in mind, but I don't really care for the fabric. The cool bundle is totally awesome. But each of us
My quilt is on the design board, so I could not get a full pic of it--nor did I take the greatest of care in editing!
The pattern is quite striking. I want to provide a few observations.
- the sharp geometric lines on this quilt are quite nice.
- This is the first block where the seam push is not very intuitive.
- to get nested seams, you have to push fabric in a way that it does not naturally want to go.
- These are 18" blocks. I think that the quilt would be prettier, to my eye, with a smaller block...maybe 12" instead of 18" which will give more of the pattern to work.
Would I make this again? Unsure. The seam push fight was not appealing. It is not a design issue in the least, but rather a function of the block. However, I'm sure GLAD that I made it.
This pattern uses the 4 at a time fast flying geese method.
