I've done it again. I've pieced another quilt top before I finished hand-quilting the lattice twin quilt. Oh well, what can I say? I love to piece and struggle with the hand-quilting part. I'm starting to get the courage to buy a walking foot for my machine so that I can try machine quilting...
For now here is the debut of the double-hour glass quilt made from scraps. The scraps are from different collections that I've had long enough for me to forget where I bought them. I got the inspiration from the Cluck Cluck Sew blog. The tutorial is here (click). The designer uses white as the common solid and so a lot of other people who have tried it used white as well. I decided to be different and use brown (I know, I'm such a rebel - strong hint of sarcasm). It's a fun quilt, but if you're a perfectionist, this method is hard to have all of the corners match up. Overall, it is one of my favorites. Hopefully the person I have it in mind for will love it as well.
P.S. Sorry for the cell phone picture. It's all that I've got for now.
