9 patch blocks was clue #1.
Orange flying geese was clue #2.
Clue #3 had a different scale of unit. These were destined to be sashing pieces but I made them into the outside border on my quilt.
Clue #4 was the aqua square plus 2 brown triangles.
Clue #6 added the orange triangle to make it square.
Clue #5 was brown flying geese.
In clue #7 we sewed the orange and brown geese together in pairs.
Clue #8 was assembling the blocks using the previous clues.
Clue #9 was the reveal on the setting. This was where I jumped ship and did my own thing with the setting. I used her sashing units and sewed them together to make this cool zig zag for the outside border. I used a narrow brown sashing fabric cut 1" wide to frame the blocks and help with the bulky seam joints.
I only used half of the blocks and did a straight setting 5 x 5 plus the border. My quilt top finished at 57"x57" but after quilting and washing it was 54" x 54".
This is Bonnie Hunter's "On Ringo Lake" quilt setting.
I like the intense oranges and browns in this quilt. It is almost 100% batiks.
( I did add one gecko face for fun.)
I'm not sure what I'll do with the other half of the blocks yet.
I love your setting and your colors! This makes me want to do another one and use this setting - very striking!
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous. I really like the final setting you chose and that border adaptation is brilliant. Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteI really like what you did with your On Ringo Lake quilt parts. Nice work!! Your border just might be the way I go with my own version.
ReplyDeleteYou got that finished quickly! It looks really good with the zig-zag border and your lovely batik fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI like how you showed your step by steps photos, leading to the excellent reveal - love how yours has turned out and a lovely finish :)
ReplyDeleteStellar setting! I like the idea of the 1" sashing strip -- I'm struggling with the bulk of the seams. Thank you for sharing your process.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous! I love all the creative touches you added to make a terrific quilt! I can't believe you finished it so quickly!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! I love how you changed up the setting. :)
