"Officer Moose failure" by me.


This quilt is made from the blocks that I pieced for a pattern called "Moose be quilting" because it features appliqued moose.  1 large, and 12 small, then these blocks were to be placed under the moose heads.  I had sort of followed the fabrics suggested by the designer in the pattern and pulled from my stash.  By the time I finished piecing them, I decided that I really didn't like the fabrics, and that the way the blocks came together really didn't work for me.  So, added some sashing strips, and put it together to become a cop quilt for donation.


I was going to do an edge to edge design, but when I went to do that, I opted to make it special quilting and that was quite fun.  There are only about 3 different quilting designs in the blocks, but I like the cohesive aspect that gives it.

Then I used leftover pieces of wool batting that have been hanging out beneath my longarm for way too long.  Those are all now all used up, and off to a good home!
