Pippa 🇯🇵

 This is Pippa, the 12th and last quilt in the Stripology Quickies Club that I've been working on for over a year.
My Quilt Info:
Pattern: Pippa from GE Designs
Size: 56" x 75"
Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20
Thread: Glide--Chestnut
Pantograph: Sashiko ⤵️ from Urban Elementz
"Sashiko" quilting for a Japanese quilt. ⤴️⤵️
The pattern calls for 9 half yards or 18 fat quarters. Instead I used 35 different prints, to get the most variety.⤵️ These prints were all purchased in Japan.
The binding is a Japanese striped print that is patchwork in style.⤵️
The backing is half of an IKEA duvet cover. ⤵️ My tip: buy the full/queen size duvet cover to back a throw size quilt. The full/queen size finishes at 86" x 86" before preshrinking and skimming off the serged edges.
Pippa ends the Stripology Quickies Club. I managed to make all 12 quilts, plus a table runner from the extra Lilo blocks and 2 versions of Skyler.
Here are Gudrun's 12 Stripology Quickies Club quilts. ⤵️
And here are my 12 Stripology Quickies Club quilts. ⤵️
My last 3 were made with Japanese prints so they have a similar color feel.⤴️
I may work on the Stripology Lil' Pattern Club next, which is Stripology patterns miniaturized to make 6 table runners.
Five of the patterns are already released. I haven't started any of them, although I have previously made a Lil' Inga during the 2024 GE Designs Virtual Retreat. ⤵️ I'll see how time allows.

  2. Another beautiful quilt, and I love the "shapes". I do plan to use my still-unused Stripology ruler in the new year.
    I wish you peace and love and comfort this week. And hugs.

  14. I have a small collection of Japanese fabrics from my dear niece. She was stationed in Okinawa for a time and this reminded me to get busy on that UFO! Thanks for sharing your inspiring & lovely work.

  19. Love the variety in color and texture! Love this quilt and it is another temptress for a squirrel! I hope 2026 becomes a very good year for you! :)

  20. "Pippa" is a simple, but very effective design. Love all the Japanese prints you used in it. Those hold special memories, I'm sure. I can imagine this design in brights too. And a solid version would be effective. Basically, it seems like a good design for scraps. I don't have a stripology ruler, though numerous friends do. I'm glad you were up to completing one more quilt for year's end. No doubt your last few weeks have been difficult. I think of you often, and am still praying God's peace over you. Have a good start into 2026.
