Mitä ihmettä tämä kuva mahtaa esittää?


Vastaus:
Vihdoinkin muun kuin brittiläis-suomalaisen kangasvaihtotyöni tuloksia, eli näin valtavan pitkälle olen päässyt solmioista rakentuvassa tilkkupeitossa. Haha. Viisi blokkipohjaa on leikattuna ohuimmasta mahdollisesta vanusta ja niiden keskelle olen leikannut kolmesta eri solmiosta blokin keskipalat.

Koska peitto tulee Lions-klubin varainhankintaan, leikkaan osaan keskipaloista leijonan. Tuollainenkin solmio sattui lahjoitusröykkiöstä löytymään.

Kyllä tulis tylsä peitto jos kaikki solmiot olisivat vain harmaita. Mitä hullumpia solmioita sitä hauskempi peitto.

16-patches and X-blocks in a quilt surface.

-
Image
Last autumn, I decided to make two different projects that would feature hundreds of 2,5-inch squares. The first one has already been quilted, and I should only label, trim, and bind it. In this post, I’ll tell you more about the second one. Both projects launched in September 2025. For this one, I made a test block of 16 squares and one half of the needed X block: That is how far this project progressed until the end of December. The first project was almost done and I needed to review the situation. I had quite a few 16-blocks left over: And I also wanted to make more, using a different design. The blocks in the other project always had four same-hued squares running from corner to corner. In the new project, I wanted the 16-patches to be more random. As soon as I had a few complete blocks done, I made a small composition on the floor – just to see how the blocks might look together: Soon, I had a few more blocks, and wanted to set up a “mini quilt” with the intended design....

Welcome to my second quilt finish of the year! Today I’m sharing my brand new Curious quilt (Utelias in Finnish). It is a twin-size quilt sewn of two different blocks, and a project that I started in September 2025. I finished the quilt top in Febrary and shared the full start-to-finish piecing process earlier in my blog post about the 16-patch- and X-blocks in a quilt surface. In this post you’ll get: Proof that quilting makes the surface come to life Many pictures of this quilt Summary of quilt details for this Curious quilt.  It felt great to photograph this one on a sunny afternoon. My lovely husband is a seasoned quilt-holder and most of the images from the photo shoot came out great. This is the first test block – or block-and-a-half – that I made in September 2025. Can you spot the test block on the finished surface? Here’s a picture that I was going to use in the February post but did not: We had quite a bit of snow in January-February time this year, and su...

Splendid colour tips for quilting: Greys in quilts

-

Grey is one of the most – if not the most – versatile neutral colours in quilting. It is a softer colour than black, and it will help your highlight colours stand out. In this post, I share practical tips about the use of grey in quilting using my own quilts and quilted items as examples. Grey represents neutrality, simplicity, peace, future-orientedness and logic. Grey is not an emotional colour, and it is associated with technology, industrial activity, control, professionalism and even with elegance. Not all greys are colourless – a pure mix of black and white. There are all shades, ranging from yellowish to purplish and brownish: And then there is the special brown-grey colour called taupe. Taupe is the colour that is just as brown as it is grey. The word “taupe” comes from the French word for mole whose fur is of that colour. It may be that quilters find taupe more interesting than other people because Japanese quilters use it abundantly and in very chic ways. They are maste...
