I got up extra early this
morning so I could complete my version of the Moda Blockheads sew-a-long on the
last day of issue. Obsessive you say?
Back
Doing this in the potholder
method made it easy to complete the block each week. All the pieced blocks were
machine quilted so they could be done quickly. I hand appliqued and hand
quilted Jan’s blocks so they took a little longer.
As per my decree that I will
name all of my quilts using some sort of cooking reference I am calling this
one “Moda Smorgasbord”.
My setting isn’t very
interesting, but I like the fact that it showcases each designer in a vertical
row.
I had a lot of fun with this
one and I would like to thank Moda and all the designers, Lynne Hagmeier, BetsyChutchian, Jo Morton, Jan Patek, Lisa Bongean and Carrie Nelson. They did a
great job putting these all together. I tried to use all Moda fabrics, but I
did grab a few pieces from the scrap bin so it isn’t a 100% Moda collection.
This will be my donation quilt for the AQSG auction next Fall.

If you are new to my blog and are wondering “what the heck is the potholder method?” You can read more about it (here).
Have a great quilty day!

ReplyDeleteYou are such a treasure and a talent Wendy!
Wendy it is beautiful. You are so generous with your talent. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWOW Wendy it's amazing! And finished so quickly using your method!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quilt and what generosity Wendy ! You're a sweetheart ! Congratulations for this awesome finish !
ReplyDeleteI am in awe! I know you credit the potholder method as to why you can be done on the final day, but that also means you kept up with each weekly block--not just making it, but quilting and binding it, as well. Mind boggling! Obsessive? Only in a good way. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous, Wendy, and so generous of you to donate it.
way to go girl...........I thought about doing this but it never happened..........looks great and it is finished........woohoo........
ReplyDeleteyou ARE an over-achiever wendy!!! so you are coming to maryland? cyndi too i'll guess...hmm maybe we can meet up!
ReplyDeleteUnique to set all of one designer in a row and looks good. I made the first two blocks and quit as I was overwhelmed with projects at the time. Your method of construction made for an easy finish.
ReplyDeleteI commented early early this morning from my IPAD but it evidently hasn't learned how to connect or something. I love the way you have planned your quilt. Putting the designers in a row adds so much interest to the quilt. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful finish, Wendy! Love the way you showcased each designer's blocks by putting them in vertical rows. You are absolutely amazing and AQSG is going to love you for this fabulous donation :) P.S. Do you ever sleep? I'm beginning to wonder.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful finish - it will fetch a pretty penny at the auction for sure. You are so industrious and organized and over the top creative - an amazing combo! I am catching up on some blog reading and noticed your post with your long list of quilts in the works. Wow, just wow!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome finish and a beautiful donation quilt. Someone will adore having it. Using the potholder method definitely gets a sampler quilt done before the ink drys. Love the way you set it together to highlight each designer.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish Wendy! I look forward to seeing it at the auction.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finish--it's wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I always think the back is so interesting with this method!
ReplyDeleteFabulous finish, Wendy. I think I may need to make that trip to the show so I can bid on your quilt!!! Are you still interested in going to the Vermont show in the summer?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and so interesting you used the potholder method. It is a wonderful donation.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice work! You have a beautiful project completed! All blocks blend and that is what makes it pop!
ReplyDeleteWonderful finish! This is where the potholder method really shines - now you have a completed quilt instead of just a pile of blocks!
