The Modern Quilt Guild of Franklin (NC) has been working on this quilt designed by Sarah Overton of My Crowded Nest. It is paper-pieced octagons,and the paper piecing certainly has helped it go together more smoothly with so many different people working on it.
Several people took papers and fabric home to do a row at first, then we all met several times to put the rows together.
We were working from a plan, but color placement was still a challenge!
Of course the colors were chosen by the national MQG, but we added a few prints to liven things up.
And finally, the top is done!
It’s going to be quilted by Andrea Walker, so I’ll be sure to show a picture of the final quilt when it’s done. After QuiltCon, it will be donated to our local hospice.

Very cool!
Thanks!
It’s beautiful, and I love intricate designs like that, that hold one’s attention for a long time, and provide so many details to notice.
Thanks!
Lots of work in that one. Some fun color play
Probably way more work than we should have taken on, looking at what other guilds have done. Hindsight is great, as always😬
Beautiful quilt, done by good friends and going to a great charity where it will be so appreciated. Keep up the good work. Christine Friesner.
