CORONA

Greetings Blog Friends,

I have a quilt finish to share today.  This quilt is named simply "CORONA".  You might remember my posts about it earlier this year as I completed the blocks each week.

This quilt is a result of a quilt-along, sponsored by The Sewing Basket in Plymouth, Wisconsin.  Owners Sheryl and Elayne  developed a quilt of 20 blocks, each using 20 pieces.  Block patterns were released twice each week beginning March  20 and ending in mid May.  It is a sampler quilt, as each block is different.  I pulled fabrics from my stash...all scraps  and leftovers of previous projects.  I chose a tropical print for my main fabric and coordinating fabrics in typical tropical fabrics in corals, turquoises, light greens, and yellows. 

I chose the name "CORONA" to commemorate the time we spent together, the other members of the group and I, and although we were all sewing independently at home, we were still connected by a common activity.  We shared our progress and asked for advice in the form of posts on Sewing Basket's Facebook page.  

Here is my version, quilted and bound.  I chose a very minimal quilting motif, a straight line cross hatch design.  I chose not to put any kind of outer border on mine as I intend to use it as a wall hanging only.  Finished size is 42" x 52".  Husband Denis is making a quilt holder for me and this quilt will hang in my craft room.

Quite simply....I Love It!

Another serendipitous quilt finish next time.  'Til then...
