Good Friday

I always think of this quilt on this day…

Here is a close-up…

I made this quilt 3 years ago for my husband and it hangs in his office at home.  Two years ago I made another one (exactly the same since I had enough of all the fabrics left) for our priest Fr. Paul.  While I was making Fr. Paul’s I hung my husbands on the wall in the sewing room so I could follow the color placement more easily.  That is when I noticed that the first one I did for my husband was WRONG!!  It’s only one small piece – and you can’t notice it, but I thought it was funny.

The pattern comes from Paper Panache.  If you are into paperpiecing this is a great place to get HARD patterns!  I don’t remember how many pieces are in this, but there are many and matching up all the intersections correctly took a good amount of sewing and unsewing until I was happy with them.  But it paid off in the end!  This quilt is only 14″ x 20″.

I have their nativity pattern as well but have not gotten around to making it – maybe this year!
