Deep Blue

While living in Kipnuk I had a ton of extra time to piece quilts. This top was pieced in 2000.  It is a mystery quilt from the Fat Quart Quilt by M'Liss Rae Hawley.  

This particular pattern calls for half square triangles, nine patches, four patches, double four patches, and rails and square blocks.  Many of the blocks used strip piecing which made the construction less complicated.  Depending on how you chose to put the blocks together, your design could be significantly different.

It is one of the few quilts that I've made over the years that I kept for myself.

This is "Purple Mystery" pieced and quilted by my daughter in 2008.  This quilt does not have the double four patches that are in "Deep Blue"

 This quilt, "Soothing Fields", was pieced and quilted in 2004 for my very dear friend Jenn.  The fabric was given to me so it would match her decor.  This one includes the double four patches that are not present in the purple quilt.
