Recent Quilt Finish

Image
I am making it my quilting priority to finish a LOT of my workshop samples. I have a wonderful outlet for everything and the bonus is that I don't have to quilt them myself! My local guild has a fabulous member who longarm quilts our quilts when they are used for our charity endeavors. This is the very last of my Buzz Saw samples. As you can see, I had to use a "renegade" blade (orange) to complete the 20 blade center. I used an older Windham Fabics collection called Raj. This quilt will be a bright spot for some little child (I hope)! Raj Buzz Saw : 39" x 39" My ruler is an 18 degree Dresden wedge that has a height of 12-1/2"! That makes for a large center. It has both 30 and 60 degree diagonal lines on it fork cutting the wedges (no templates). Buzz Saw ruler (no templates needed; these were used in the magazine)  Here is the first Buzz Saw I made. It appeared in an issue of Modern Quilts (2014). I went on to teach this as a workshop about a dozen times....

I love these challenges the most! These all use the same ruler. It's a simple Dresden Plate wedge with a 12.5" height and extra lines for those angles at the top. Blue Plate Special is a simple Dresden Plate block. 20 wedges with an 18 degree angle. Those little orange points are prairie points! This was donated to my local guild's charity endeavors. (Hard copy pattern of this quilt is included with Buzz Saw and ruler .) Blue Plate Special : 43" x 43"; 30" center Buzz Saw appeared in Modern Patchwork Magazine (2014): Buzz Saw : 30" x 30" Orange Crush using the 60 degree lines on the dresden ruler. More on this version next week! Orange Crush: 41" x 41" and even Ten Points of Light, which my favorite youngest daughter begged me for. Uses the same 60 degree cutting angle ...
