Patchwork Party

At our Bonnies' afternoon Fran showed her Patchwork Party quilt and cushions she'd gone on to make using the block patterns. Very impressive were the plain quilted squares, marked with a stencil and then machine quilted very effectively using a walking foot. We made the blocks quilt as you go but I wasn't aware it was possible to quilt such an elaborate pattern by machine with a walking foot. One to try. . .
I'm far behind the others with this project - blocks done and no more - but hope to catch up when the others embark on the Farmer's Wife quilt. I'll do blocks for that but not the whole quilt.
