Quilt Top Notes/Techniques
I wanted to make a trapunto feathered wreath for my buzzsaw blocks in my Blue Steel quilt. This was the sampler. I didn’t end up using the wreath on the main quilt, but my samples were worthy of finishing off Quilt As You Go.
Top wreath was my design.
Middle wreath was designed by Anita Shackelford.
Bottom wreath was designed by Three Sisters Fabric.
I thought the finished quilt had a Japanese look, so I named it “Hanawa” or “wreath” in Japanese.
Quilting Notes/Techniques
Gutterman 50wt cotton thread in cream. Signature 40wt cotton thread in navy.

Quilt Top Notes/Techniques
My first quilt.
Used crappy polyester batting that melted and squished when fish were fused on. Didn’t know how to sew on borders, so just sewed the them on; definitely not square.
I still display this quilt in my house and like to see how far I’ve come.
Quilting Notes/Techniques
Essentially a quilt-as-you-go, zig zagging over the edges of the water strips. Straight line quilted 1/4″ from inside of border.
