Blueberry Pie Quilt

7/9 the quilt show continues..........this one was finished week before last.......still catching up on posts..........
Blueberry Pie was started at another Nundle retreat back in 2007........woops 15 years later
the pattern is from The Pattern Basket - Butterscotch Pie 
Me being me had to change it to BLUEberry pie..........
Started here it uses the tri rec rulers..........
Progress was made once I got home from retreat but pretty sure it then got shoved into a bag with frustration and tossed aside for way too long until once again the crazy sewing frenzy post Christmas 2017 came to the rescue.............see here
The Tri Rec rulers let you create a curved effect without curved seams............
I found a link to them here
I went down the creek again but this time I got attacked by mozzies so this was a very quick photo shoot.........(this was before last weeks rain they are worse now)
sunset just after the photo shoot..............
Lucky I had the quilt in a bag as I dumped it on a fence post while I went and moved some sheep.............
This tree was a great tree to hang a quilt on but I had to stand on the bike..............
then the grass was very long and it was warm and I was wary of snakes so I then moved the bike around to try and find the right angle to take the pics..............and then line up with the log again to get the quilt off............also hoping you don't fall off the side off the side of the bike reaching up to the log.........OMG the things i do............
I did find two great logs but this first one was even worse for mozzies so I left it.............
12 pies all baked........ready to keep someone warm...............

Another gorgeous quilty finish. Next time I have my kids or husband whinge about holding a quilt up for 10 seconds, I'll tell them you have to keep an eye out for snakes for your photos :)

Love it. Was this quilt hanging behind you in our last zoom session? It looks familiar.

Janice said...

Yep, it was definitely time to get this quilt out of a bag and on to a bed. The colours are so nice and rich for winter and the effect created by the blocks is really clever.

Ohhh my goodness, that quilt is gorgeous! And I love your creative settings for the pictures, you have a great eye.
I'm really enjoying your quilt show.
Be sure to have a great week

Love this quilt, Chooky! And the photos are great, but you take way too many risks with yourself to provide such great glamor shots of your quilts!

Jackie said...

Really like this quilt. Love the wide border.

God bless.
