This quilt top was worked on all last year, mostly at craft shows. I decided it would save time to take a sewing machine (my Featherweight) and get some sewing done during breaks in selling to customers. And there were a lot of breaks. People would show interest in the sewing machine, but I don't really think it helped me sell more items. Anyway, the pattern is "Trail Mix" designed by Mabeth Oxenreider. I was always drawn to scrappy quilts, especially ones that had the "lines" like this one has.
The pattern is in "Scrap-Lovers' Quilts" published by Better Homes and Gardens. I've had the book for a long time and finally got around to making it. As you can see, there is a lot of sewing involved! It measures approximately 77" x 115". I need to get the quilting done in time for a guild meeting in September because we are having a UFO challenge and it was picked from my list. I just finished putting the borders on. It is too big for my design wall, so it is folded in half.
I plan to get it basted next week along with a couple small donation quilts. Basting large ones like this is not my favorite activity!
Thanks for visiting and happy quilting!
