While I love creating totally original quilt designs, I also love finding inspiration in antique quilts. This is one such quilt—inspired by an antique. I saw a string quilt where the units were the shape of “tumblers”. I realized that by shaking it up, and careful fabric placement, a it could become a very contemporary quilt. In case you don’t know, a string quilt is one that is made by sewing strips of fabrics together in varying widths. The final shape of the units can be cut from these striped-pieced fabrics. I had fun finding some whimsical fabrics for this quilt. If was featured on an episode of The Quilt Show.
