This quilt "Classic Quintet" came from a magazine and features a fabric line by Judie Rothemel called "Indigo, Pewter and Honey". I did have to substitute a couple fabrics but otherwise it looks exactly like the one in the magazine :/ I did intend to hand piece it at first but chose to use my Featherweight machine instead. I did the border using the English-paper-piecing method by hand over the Thanksgiving holidays in 2011. It was hand quilted while watching the 2012 Olympics (Women's Gymnastics to be precise). The number Five kept coming up during this time so I kept the name.I completed it in time for the 2012 Quilt Show of the Little Mountains in Monticello, KY. It got third place in Small Quilts, Hand Quilted category. It was also displayed at the LWC Gallery in Columbia this past winter. It's about 40 inches square, made with cotton fabrics, thread and batting.
According to BlockBase, the blocks are (top row) Bird of Paradise, Crown of Thorns, (center) Tree of Paradise, (bottom row) Best of All and Dove in the Window. Anyone impressed?
