The Madrona Road quilt is almost finished – it just needs binding, then I can post it on the Flickr site.\u00a0 I’m going to bind it with solid black.\u00a0 \"TerryAske_MadronaRoad_quilted_full\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 \"TerryAske_MadronaRoad_quilted_detail\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"TerryAske_MadronaRoad_in<\/a>When I positioned the stars on my design wall last week, I hadn’t really thought through how I was going to piece them together.\u00a0 I wanted them fairly close together, so each star had to be pieced into the other stars’ background fabrics. \u00a0I suppose I could have pieced the large stars into the background, then appliqued the small ones – but I didn’t think about that until I was pretty far along in the piecing process.<\/p>\n

\"TerryAske_MadronaRoad_piecing<\/a>I started by piecing the top and left stars together. \u00a0That worked really well – the diagonal seams in one star lined up with the diagonal seams in the background of the other – yay!\u00a0 So I thought I would do the same with the other two (right and bottom) stars. \u00a0Then I realized there would be some partial seams in the middle.\u00a0 To further complicate matters, the second pair of stars didn’t line up as well as the first pair, and I had to do two inset seams. \u00a0I lost track of how many seams I ripped out and re-stitched, and how many partial seams were required.<\/p>\n

But I persevered, and it all come together. \u00a0I used a lot<\/em> of my geometry skills from high school. \u00a0 I quilted it with right-angle parallel lines in each quadrant.\u00a0 I really like the way it looks, and it has the added advantage of nicely minimizing the seams in the center area.<\/p>\n

I’ve enjoyed working on this quilt, but will be glad to move onto other projects.\u00a0 I’ll post another photo when the binding is on.<\/p>\n
