The Tile Quilt is finished!





This is my original design for the American Patchwork & Quilting Two-Color Quilt Challenge. It's a simple design using only two blocks.  If it's accepted, it'll be shown at Quiltcon in February. I'm not holding my breath about it being accepted because there will be thousands of entries from all over the world.! My design inspiration came from Athos Bulcão, a Brazilian artist.  It was quilted by a fellow TVMQG member Nancy Thomas.

If you want to make your own Tile quilt, you can find the tutorial here.

The Tile Quilt Top and a Tutorial


This is the Tile Quilt Top.  I made it for the Two Color Quilt Challenge hosted by the MQG and American Patchwork and Quilting magazine.  I based the quilt on the tile work of Athos Bulcão, a Brazillian artist.  Below is a photo of his work.


I kept my blocks large, in the spirit of my inspiration.

I'm very excited about getting it quilted by one of my quilt guild members, Nancy, she normally doesn't do commissions, but I'm grateful she's going to quilt this for me.  I love her quilting artistry.

I had a request for a pattern, and since I don't write patterns, I did a tutorial for this quilt top.  If you're interested, you can find it here.

Quilt top started on 7/20/2018
Completed on 8/6/2018
Measures 72.5" x 90.5"

May your bobbins always be full,
