Mora is the only quilt I have hand pieced. I started her in June, 2018. She is 88″ wide x 92″ long, and has about 3000 diamonds pieces.
There are 39 stars, each has 60 diamonds.
Although the black & white fabric is busy, I love that fabric (Terrie Mangat design) and could not resist using it to connect the stars. I tempered it a bit with solid black diamonds.
It was a long process, but not at all painful. It was nice to always have a small, lap-size project whenever I was sitting still, which I don’t do well. I started it prior to our 2 week Alaskan cruise because I thought I would be bored. I was NOT bored, but still glad to have a project.
I used a design board w/ stylus for the quilt design. It’s very dense, and therefore holds the handpiecing together nicely.
It’s hard to get a nice photo of this. But this is good enough! I’ll be starting another hand pieced project before too long. It’s just nice to have one around.
Look out, Sports Illustrated!
Thanks for checking in,
