TGIFF! Quilt Like An Egyptian
Posted on: June 20th, 2014 by Lorna McMahon
Welcome to this week’s TGIFF!
Glad to have you here at Sew Fresh Quilts for the P-A-R-T-A-Y!
I am quite excited to announce the finish of my
MQG Fabric Challenge today. This challenge features four fat eighth cuts of Michael Millers newest collection –
Petal Pinwheels. I just LOVE those soft and colourful prints! Yes, even enough to get the whole collection and make a larger version of this quilt in the very near future. Along with those four Petal Pinwheels cuts, a fat eighth each of
Cotton Couture in Coral and Star Jacks in Grey from the
Atomic Tabbys collection, were also included.
I blogged
here previously about my design process. And ended the post mentioning that the backing I had originally chosen was just not going to jive with the top. And that I would be making another visit to my LQS. Well, I did just that and found
the.perfect.print for the backing. It is
Michael Miller’s Everyday Houndstooth in Lagoon.
Quilting with my walking foot, Aunt Elna and I outlined the chevrons and along the Coral pyramid. Then continued quilting 1/4″ and 1″ parallel lines, using grey, orange and white Guetermann thread.
Quilt Like an Egyptian finished at approximately 39″ x 40″ and was completed using a machine finished binding in Clay from the
Cotton Couture collection.

I love the asymmetric zigzag! I made a triangle quilt recently as part of a quilt along, and though mine was very plain and simple I was so inspired by all the great variations the more experienced quilters shared. Looking forward to making another, more adventurous one. And yes, that houndstooth backing is perfect!!
Love this quilt, and the backing is perfect. I have pinned this to make as my first triangle quilt. I always love your quilts.
