Genesee Valley Quilt Club – 2015 Quiltfest – My Entries

A final post about the 2015 Quiltfest. It was a magnificent show: nearly 700 quilts on display, a huge vendor mall, nationally known speakers and teachers, the Iron Quilter and jelly roll contests, a fashion show . . . we’re exhausted but happy.

The area of dark, solid diamonds in the lower left will be covered by the inverted star of the harlequin face and cap. Work is progressing on it as well.

Sandwiching the top with batting and backing is next. The finished size will be approximately 36 x 60.

In Jest - Face Draft 5

In Jest – Face Draft 5

I’ve decided on this version of the face. Here’s why I’m using a 72 degree rather than a 60 degree diamond.
