The maker of this quilt is a prolific piecer she is also what I would call an advanced piecer! She loves a challenge and often chooses patterns that many would run from!
This quilt however was one she decided that she wanted to use up a couple of layer cakes that were in her stash. She chose to make hour glass blocks or half square triangle blocks depending on how you look at the quilt.
When her husband initially saw the blocks that she was making he said they were ugly and it would never be on his bed!
Thankfully his comments did not detour her plans!
When she brought the quilt to me she told me that she had named it the Ugly Duckling Quilt. She also asked me to quilt a duck somewhere one the quilt…so I did.
Can you see it?
The we chose the quilting design Finesse. This design added a layer of elegance to this stunning quilt.
The backing in its rich purple colour couldn’t be a more perfect match!
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up.
Also, her husband changed his tune regarding it being ugly.
