Bakers dozen

My Bakers' Dozen quilt is finished.

This is a Jan Kingwell pattern that finished at 73 inches square. 

I used a Gelato fat quarter bundle and a variety of white fabrics from several collections and even a piece of white fabric that was made in North Carolina, probably quite a few decades ago, since all the mills were closed in that state when manufacturing moved to Asia.

I am calling my quilt "Humble Pie Bakers Dozen". I had to remake the blocks more than once. This quilt requires attention to detail and correct positioning of the various pieces that are very similar. Not a good thing when you are distracted by life events.

But I am very pleased with it. I quilted the top in the embroidery machine hoop using an Amelie Scott design.

Potato Chips Block Quilt

This quilt is completed and ready to be donated. The 12 inches blocks are made of 2" by 3 1/2" rectangles. 

I used Tula Pink fabrics from a couple of different collections that were left over from other projects and added some black and white fabrics to create the square design. 

The quilt finished 60" by 72" and is a perfect size for a twin size bed.

It was quilted using a Amelie Scott design on a Bernina domestic machine.
