The Golden Years Quilt
Original Design: Ellen Marie Mislo
Block Quilt, Machine Pieced and Quilted including 12 Embroidered Blocks
The Quilt is made up of 21 – 10″ blocks.
12 of those blocks where made by starting with a 6″ embroidered rectangle. A 2″ red patterned border was sewn around the block and then another 2″ block of background fabric was added to create the 10″ block.
The other 9 – 10″ blocks were cut from a repeating design patterned fabric,(They could be created by sewing together strips of fabric).
The assembled quilt was created by starting with 3 embroidered blocks, then alternating rows of embroidered/patterned/embroidered then patterned/embroidered/patterned.
A 4″ complimentary red border was added around the entire quilt, then finished off with a gold/green/red binding, tying the quilt together. The finished quilt measures approximately 39″X79″.
Ellen Marie has shown with this creation that very simply made blocks can become something very unique.
