Vintage Revisited block 2 challenge quilt for Mary Kerr’s book A Quilt Block Challenge
The Mediterranean Sea
Fall 2006
Challenge Quilts
When I received block #2, I was not thrilled. I didn’t like the colors or the solid fabrics. The orange originally lead me to consider and design a Halloween quilt. However, before using any of the vintage block I went on a Mediterranean cruise…it was beautiful. When I saw a cheddar house on the hill the entire quilt changed. This quilt is collage style appliqué. It was free motion embroidered and quilted on my home machine. In June of 2010 I realized that I misspelled Mediterranean on my quilt...it only took me four years.
