Pinochle

DSCN0283
Sorry for the delay in revealing my finished Pinochle quilt.   We attended a family wedding this weekend and it took a lot of my time and most of my mental faculties getting the family ready.   Now that we're back (the wedding was beautiful!), I can take care of some things that have been sitting idle for a while (like my blog!).


Pinochle was designed by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts and is in her book Fat Quarter Winners.  I used a mix of French General fabrics - Rural Jardin, Rouenneries, Maison de Noel and Maison de Garance, with the bird print from Rural Jardin as the border.


This quilt was a lot of fun to make (I happen to love half square triangles!) and I'm very happy with the results.

    It's beautiful! I love everything about it ~ the fabric and the pattern are perfect, and they're perfect for each other. Good job ~ and this was definitely worth the wait. :)

    Lisa!!! Gosh friend you should be happy and proud with the results. What a sensational quilt. I love the way you used the variety of fabrics here. You have just the exact right balance of blue-gray in here as well (not sure if that's the right name for that color but it looks like it to me). Anyway, I have to say this is a favorite now. Besides the orange quilt. You know. I have to keep that one fresh in my mind. Because, well, it's a favorite. ;)

    Hi! I was one of the students in St. Charles last fall when we took the classes by Carrie Nelson! I finished the tops for both the Dacry and the Ashcombe - not quilted or bound - just the tops done! In August our Guild is hosting Monique Dillard! Maybe you and Thelma should come back! We'd love to have you!
