Quinn

 This is Quinn, the 10th quilt in the Stripology Quickies Club!!!
First, here are some "Quinn inspiration" I found on "Gudrun's Quilt Crew" Facebook page:
My Quilt Info:
Pattern: Quinn from GE Designs
Size: 70" x 84"
Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20
Thread: Glide--Sky
Pantograph: Bridges ⤵️ from Sew Shabby Pantos
I used the "Bridges" pantograph. It reminded me of an American couple in Japan--both were missionary kids that grew up in Japan. They named their baby "Bridge" as they wanted him to be a "bridge" between Japan and the US. 
Here are some close-ups of the 30 different traditional Japanese fabrics I used. 
They include favorite motifs of Japan, including kanji, bunnies, dragonflies, origami cranes, arrows and decorative balls, fans, turtles...
Cherry blossoms, Japanese styled flowers and symbols...
Sashiko designs, plum blossoms, more fans and origami cranes...
More dragonflies, butterflies, new years decorative balls, and kanji for fish...
I pieced together a back from some Japanese yardage that was full selvage width.⤵️
This is a large "lap" size quilt at 70" x 84". I usually aim for 60" x 80" for a lap/throw size. These blocks finish at 14" which makes it tricky to get close to 60" x 80".
I'm happy with this finish and will give it to someone with ties to Japan and the US.
Here are all 12 of Gudrun's quilts from the Stripology Quickies Club:
Below are my first 10 quilts from the Stripology Quickies Club. I made a table runner from the extra blocks of the first quilt, and the second quilt has two very different layouts, of which I made both. That's why I have twelve photos for the 10 quilts so far.
The eleventh quilt, "Winny", was released on October 8th. I'm working on my 2nd Winny right now!
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

    Quinn does not look like it would be a quickie to make. I love the fabric palette you used. Its very comfy and cozy appealing.Can I ask what software you use to create the photo collage?

    Quinn is a beautiful quilt, Nancy! I really like that design - it might be my favorite of all the Stripology Quickies you've made. The Japanese fabrics are so fun to look at, too. Congratulations on your finish!
