Black/gray/white quilt for LQS class

I was asked to teach a class on a quilt from the book Loose Change. The quilt's name is Jamie's Quilt. I made one that matches the pattern closely. I took it to my LQS to show one of the owners,Deb. She was my Secret Sister last year. She liked it so she put it up on the wall!!!! And asked me to teach the quilt at the LQS. WOW! I will be a quilt teacher!!! Can you tell I am excited??

Hope I did this right. That should be a link to the Jamie's Quilt in my blog.

Anyway, I translated the pattern to use the Easy Angle ruler. It really simplified the cutting and the piecing. I love the Easy Angle ruler now.

Jamie's quilt from Loose Change book COMPLETE!

All done! I told you yesterday that it only needed 2 simple borders to finish it off. The amazing thing about this quilt is that I have no recipient in mind. It does seem masculine but then again I personally love blue and brown together! I usually do not make quilts without a person in mind for the quilt as a gift. I just loved the pattern so much that I jumped up and made it.
I feel real positive that when you are making something for someone you think good thoughts all while creating the object. Thus infusing it with your love/regard for the person.

The border came from my stash. Old, old, old...so old that I know I washed and starched it before folding it away years ago. And I sure made a mess digging it out of it's stack when I spyed the corner of it. It has the blues and tans that are in the blocks. It is perfect. All the selvedge says is "The Alexander Henry Collection" with a copywright sign, no year or design #.

The measurement of this quilt is 70"X 85". Perfect for my home quilting frame set-up.

Jamie's quilt from Loose Change book-more progress!

All 20 blocks have been made and assembled with the sashings/cornerstone squares. Now I have just 2 simple borders to add and the quilt will be complete.

When Hubby walked through the door tonight his surprise was heartening. I had told him I was not going to do the whole quilt even though I had everything cut for the complete quilt. I decided to not let those pieces languish in scrap heaven here and made the quilt to the size in the pattern. My leftovers are very minimal now.
