Pattern: "Mariner's Compass" by Cindy Matthews
Quilting: Machine quilted in the ditch with clear filament. A simple pattern was machine quilted in the border.
This is my second quilt project and at the time I still didn't know what I was doing. Mistakes abound. I drafted this overly ambitious pattern, thinking that it would be a large quilt with 12 blocks total. I spent more time working on the color selection than sewing. This was my practice quilt using the color technique in Jinny Beyer's great book Color Confidence for Quilters. After finishing one block (at over 8 hours), I decided maybe a pillow would be nice instead of a quilt. Ten years later, the quilt was finished as a four block 50" x 50" wall hanging. Overall a great learning experience. Finished in Simi Valley, CA in 2009.
