Using directions from a wonderful blog by Jenny B. Harris, I made this quilt for my sister and her husband for Christmas. The design is a "Crazy Nine-Patch" or a "Stack 'n Wack". I loved making this quilt - the directions were so easy and the process so quick. I would highly recommend this method for a first-time quilt. The quilt could be simplified by not using sashing and simplifying the borders.
The quilt is made from all black and white fabrics from numerous stores. The sashing is a cute print of sewing pins and the back fabric is an animal print. The quilt was long-arm quilted by Patched Works Inc. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin using a grey thread on the top and bright red thread on the back.
Here is a close-up of the blocks and the label:
My sister has two beautiful Shih Tzu's. Here are two pictures of Barkley with the quilt - he is a perfect match!
So cute! If only my sister would let me have him....
