Festival of Quilts Quilt

Linda

My wife Linda and I were the guest speaker at the Festival of Quilts Saturday night dinner here in Calgary.

This is the quilt Linda made for the occasion. I think she did a wonderful job of quilting it.

I designed the quilt and block and named them after her.

Festival of Quilts Quilt

Every May there is a Festival of Quilts in Heritage Park, which is in Calgary where I live.

This year my wife Linda and I were asked to be the guest speaker at the Saturday night dinner.

I made this quilt for the occasion.

Mix & Match #4

Disappearing 
Kansas Star

In my last post I made new blocks from each of these color versions of Kansas Star by cutting each block into quarters and then reassembling the quarters differently. I then used the new blocks in quilt designs.

What if I take two quarters from one block and two quarters from another block and use those to make a new block?

Quarter of Nine #17

Disappearing 
Kansas Star

A Kansas star block is made from nine diamond patches. If you assemble a Kansas Star block then cut it into four quarters, you can use the quarters to make new blocks and some exciting new quilts.

In my last post I did nine color variations of a Kansas Star block. I am going to try this technique on each of them in turn.

Same Block Different Colors

Which Block Is
Kansas Star ?

If you said they all are, you're right.
