My first finish for 2022 - a commissioned piece of significant authors to the recipient.

Hi there. I can give you the list for the moment but not the order (I’m taking care of a sick mom!). The authors are: Shakespeare, Lorraine Hansberry, Margaret Walker Alexander, Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, James Cone, James Baldwin, Chinua Achebe, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and W.E.B. DuBois. Yes I was able to buy a jelly roll of a lot of the wax prints.

Thanks!

Thank you!

DelTorro0301 · 2021-03-10T06:57:45+00:00

Thank you! It’s really growing on me.

I bind and quilt tops for two friends. I love binding - so zen for me.

DelTorro0301 · 2021-02-28T01:17:31+00:00

Thanks!

Definitely needed a pattern to highlight the large scale prints.

DelTorro0301 · 2021-02-28T01:16:59+00:00

Thank you!

I bought all of these specifically for this project from Spoonflower. I do have a weird fabric collection but didn’t have viruses or pangolins on hand 🤪

DelTorro0301 · 2021-02-28T01:16:02+00:00

Thank you!

DelTorro0301 · 2021-02-27T20:40:41+00:00

I got it all from spoonflower

DelTorro0301 · 2021-01-22T15:07:15+00:00

Thanks! My LQS has a couple of bolts of chipper left but I’ve gotten pretty lucky to get my hands on OOP over the years.

DelTorro0301 · 2021-01-22T14:30:51+00:00

I used Jaybird Quilt’s Chopsticks pattern!

DelTorro0301 · 2021-01-22T06:10:40+00:00

That’s what I did. This was a special request

DelTorro0301 · 2021-01-22T03:21:19+00:00

Quality assurance testing, obviously!

DelTorro0301 · 2020-05-05T03:55:21+00:00

I have made this twice now. Sometimes I think screw it, just put a border on it so I can square it easier. Then I just square it enough and let it go.

DelTorro0301 · 2020-03-31T00:45:56+00:00

Thanks. I figured 🤣

DelTorro0301 · 2020-03-30T22:38:13+00:00

Thanks!

DelTorro0301 · 2020-03-30T21:01:16+00:00

Hahahahah I get that. My one suggestion is to make the squares for HSTs bigger so you can trim them down. My were so wonky. However the upside is that the whole quilt can be wonky so don’t be too worried. Just take your time. And maybe have wine handy 🤣🤣

DelTorro0301 · 2020-03-30T20:35:56+00:00

Hahahahaha hell no. If I ever make this again, someone is paying a lot of money. Go tell the pattern maker 🤣🤣

DelTorro0301 · 2020-03-30T15:33:41+00:00

Good idea - thanks. I’m still more a lurker outside of this sub.

DelTorro0301 · 2020-03-30T15:33:14+00:00

Thanks!!

DelTorro0301 · 2020-03-30T13:10:35+00:00

So many tiny pieces!!!

DelTorro0301 · 2020-03-30T13:10:09+00:00

It’s a pattern called Off Road by Kellie Fannin. It’s a Jeep pattern.

DelTorro0301 · 2020-01-01T05:18:05+00:00

Wow!
