I finished this Crossed Canoe quilt recently it measures 40″ x 40″
It was one of those “experiments” where I had an idea and some fabric and then the crossed canoe die
and the 9″ QUBE set
At first I thought I had enough fabric for 20 blocks (4×5 layout) but I didn’t so I changed it to a 4×4 layout with 16 blocks instead.
I used a Quilt design called Feathered Roses
For the back I used a dotted light brown fabric
I don’t know what it is about the quilt, but I’m not loving it, I think it’s the green leaf print and the black/grey fabric that is clashing.
I like the secondary design it’s creating, just not the fabric choices… Oh well. It’ll go in the donate pile.
Interesting. While the fabric is not my favorite, I also think the alternating block distracts from the canoe block. Maybe if it wasn’t a stripe corner and completed connecting the squares it would have set off the block better. Quilting is and experiment and some we like better than others!
