Emily Dennis is a Michigan quilt designer who created this City Tiles pattern. I wanted to make a quilt by a Michigan artist (so close to home), I liked the title of the pattern, and I knew in my head what I could do with the block design. So this is another quilt in progress. Each block contains 53 pieces. Those 53 pieces are more easily seen from the back of the block. The fabric is collection of ten different blues. Five of the blues are from the True Blue collection by Zen Chic. I chain pieced to make the sewing go faster... and gradually the pile of blocks grew. I am currently in the process of sewing thirty blocks and rows together. This quilt will measure 60" x 72."

This pattern called Line Dried by Coriander Quilts nestled in my brain the first time I saw it. Maybe it was the Ohio Star blocks. Maybe it was the name. Maybe it was the stripes. More than likely it was the combination of all three. It didn't take long before stars, lines, and stripes organized themselves in my brain. The actual quilt did not materialize as quickly, but eventually 2,225 pieces successfully became one. I assembled zebra stripes for the binding. This quilt top will be machine quilted at Three Sisters Quilting, and likely
auctioned at the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale this September. |
