Today I finished my mini quilt for the Modern Mini Quilt Challenge. I was inspired by the Inspiration Weeks' Blog Hop, hopping to Annabella's Life's Rich Pattern post. Never had I heard of the Gee's Bend Quilts, but seeing this and original Gee's Bend Quilts and it's history, I was immediately inspired! This quilt is the result.
For this quilt, I didn't use a ruler nor a rotary cutter. A real challenge and oh so fun!
Vandaag heb ik mijn mini quilt voor de Modern Mini Quilt Challenge afgemaakt. Voor deze quilt werd ik geïnspireerd door de Inspiration Weeks' Blog Hop, door de blogpost van Annabella. Ik had nog niet eerder van Gee's Bend Quilts gehoord, maar ik werd meteen geïnspireerd door deze quilt en de originele quilts van de Gee's Bend en hun geschiedenis. Deze quilt is het resultaat.
Voor de quilt heb ik geen liniaal en ook geen rotary cutter gebruikt. Een echte uitdaging!
