It has been a busy month. I completed my first Hachi quilt, which is in the Japanese style. Doing this one inspired me to make another this same size, then two doll quilts, and a red, white, and blue donation quilt, which will be one row longer.
This is the back. I am so glad I bought a few yards of this amazing multi-color fabric. Besides using it in my Hachi quilt, I gave some to a friend, so she could use it in her Hachi quilt. It goes with so many other fabrics. Astrid is also throwing a titch into her Hachi quilt, as the unexpected visitor. I expect she will be posting something about hers any day now. Astrid has actually reread the instructions on how to add the "end cap facings" to Hachi quilts, as opposed to our traditional bindings. She said she thinks she has it figured out, and she is going to attempt that style on her Hachi quilt. I am looking forward to learning that process, so I can include that type of "binding" on the rest of my Hachi quilts. I have to say, I already have at least two more planned, in my head, as I am discovering the joy of this type of improvisational quilting. P.S. Tessa, I love that you look at my blog, but if you are judging quilts at the WIF, maybe you should not be looking at the photos. :)
