Inlaid Tile Quilt
(More than) a few years ago, I took a quilt class. The name of the class was "Fabulous Fifteen" and, as you may have guessed, we learned 15 patterns - they were related, each week we selected one of the assorted patterns for that class. For a variety of reasons, I didn't finish a single quilt from the project. This unfinished-ness started bothering me, so I dug out the quilt parts and the directions and decided to do something about it...
I decided to finish up the quilt pattern called "Inlaid Tile", which was designed by Mary Ellen Hopkins. For some reason, I planned for all of the quilts I started for this class to be at least queen size, so the first decision I made was to scale back. Also for some reason, I didn't wait to start cutting the strip sets together, so I was left with a project that was all over the place in terms of completion. This was also a problem since I no longer have the machine I started sewing with. At least, that is what I'm blaming for the wonky, uneven spots. But at any rate, the top is finished, except for the quilting. I promise not to let the top languish again so I have to tend to that soon. (I confess I'm one of those quilters who likes designing and piecing but not quilting.)
