Here’s my entry for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival – Fall 2012 hosted by Amy’s Creative Side.  I call it my Chevron Picnic Quilt.  I participated in the “In the Bag -Ugly Fabric Quilt Challenge” earlier this year and this is my result!

All the fabric, except some white on white from my stash, is from my swap partner, Patti.  I didn’t have a plan so I cut the fabric into 5″ squares and then made half square triangles using the June Tailor Perfect Half-Square, Quarter Square slotted ruler.  Everyone was perfect!   I’m a gadget person and I highly recommend this one!

 

After much shuffling, I decided on this layout.

Chevron quilts are fun!  When you rotate them, you have a different quilt!

For this quilt, I played around with different quilting designs in each row.  It’s become the quilting sampler in my studio.

 

 

 

In keeping with the theme, I “acquired” some truly ugly fabric from my stash for the backing!  It’ll be perfect for a picnic – who cares if this gets a little dirty!  I like how the quilting detail pops!
