Quadrants Quilt

I finally found some time to get to quilting

My 'Quadrants' quilt 

It is the quilt I tested for Gudrun Erla

 for her new book

'Stripology Squared'

I tried quilting with my industrial machine

which I have come to the conclusion.....

it is TOO FAST

Yup....

you heard it here....

Too fast for free motion quilting!!

Now to get it bound!

I also made up some self binding receiving blankets.

Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Co. has a great tutorial on this easy gift

I used two Westrade wideback flannels from my recent order

It takes a 40"x 40" square 

and 

a 30" x 30" square.

With two Westrade widebacks,

 you get 9 receiving blankets of alternating combinations

As an added little bonus,

 I stitched a 'ps.I love you' tag into the seam

Quick and Easy!!

And speaking of Baby gifts....

Wouldn't this make an cute baby quilt??

Hmmmm...

I need more time in a day!!

Stripology Squared by Gudrun Erla

Gudrun Erla of GE Designs has a new book out!!

STRIPOLOGY SQUARED

She put out a call for some pattern tests on her new book.

Since I recently purchased her stripology ruler at the Minot Show

where

Gudrun was their Trunkshow speaker....

I thought what a better way to learn how to use it!!

She asked if I would try the pattern 'Quadrants'

This book uses 10" layer cakes 

and

 has a variety of sized for each quilt.

I used this Christmas print to try my version of this pattern.

I think it was Holly Taylor

Gudrun sent her testers a book for helping her out!!

I was super surprised.....

 to see my quilt in her book as I was flipping through!!!!

Loved that she took the time to personalize it!!

Thanks, Gudrun!!

I can't wait to try some of your other patterns in my book!!

Look for her new book at a quilt shop near you!!
