I broke my own cardinal rule of bees with this quilt: never ask for a block where it will be critical that seams line up in the end! Sure enough, they were all different sizes, but with a little fiddling I made it work. And after quilting the fiddling won't be noticeable.
After getting the Fibonacci top sewn together I had to quickly put together this one for a friend of a friend diagnosed with leukemia. Seems like he went from fine to dangerously ill in just a day :( Scary stuff.
The pattern is The Anna Quilt by Jibberish Designs. I put the whole thing together in about 4 hours! he cute fireman fabrics come from the line "All Fired Up" by Dan Morris for RJR Fabrics.

LOVE the Fibonacci quilt - is there a pattern available for that block? I have some batiks that would look great with that block. And the fireman quilt is wonderful - I know it will bring comfort to the recipient. Thanks for sharing -
ReplyDeleteWilson is adorable!
Oh My Gosh!! Your Fibonacci quilt is awesome!! It looks like it is exploding off of your blog page. My SIL and I were talking about making one based on this theory a while ago and you have made it very easy. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe Fibonacci is great! It hurts my eyeballs in the best possible way. What are you thinking for quilting?
ReplyDeleteI am saddened by the need for the quick firemen quilt, but it is adorable. And the motion in your Fibonacci is wonderful. I've seen the concept for wall quilts, but this is the first I've seen it in blocks that have to meet. A challenge even if one person were doing all the sewing. Great result!
ReplyDeleteShowing love to someone when they are ill is sometimes all we can do, and I think a hand made quilt is a lovely way to do that.
ReplyDeleteI love that top quilt. It is making my eyes go crazy.
Love the cat caption, too :)
Love the way the Fibonacci quilt has illusions of curves.
ReplyDeleteWow, the Fibonacci quilt is amazing - such great colors and lines!
ReplyDeleteAm loving the fireman quilt! Any thoughts on how to get ahold of the Anna Quilt pattern? I have contacted the shop to no avail and was just wondering if you had any insights.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
