| Which one is the treasure??? |
This Magic Tiles quilt was made when our Country Road Quilters group met for a day sometime in the fall of 1997. Someone had the directions and we all set to work.
I chose a neutral palette of fabrics and black leading. I have finally figured out that I prefer low contrast in my quilts so I do quite like it and have managed to not give this one away.
I practiced my machine quilting skills by doing something different for each wee section. When I had quite run out of ideas I filled the last half dozen that I'd somehow missed with X's. :) The border is various pieces from the blocks that I joined on the diagonal and were positioned to flow around the centre.
I like working with this principle of shuffling fabrics as it keeps my interest high. I have made several without the leading and then used my sewing machines embroidery stitches to make Victorian Crazy quilts. Since then I discovered the 'shuffle the deck' quilts that Karla Alexander has made popular.
