Swan Song – OBW #124

Swan Song by The Morris Creative Group for QT Fabrics. Panel measures 36″ x 42″ with the outer border. I cut off the border to use as an outer border on the quilt. I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies.

The ivory vintage buttons symbolize the swan eggs. The Swans are lovingly watching over their nest.

Swan Song measures 67″ x 62″ (unquilted). The large block representing the sun is 15″. It was made with the Star 60 Tool and the Star 60 Log Cabin Technique Sheet. The blue 5″ cubes represent rocks. They were made with the Star 60 Tool and the Hollow Cube 60 Technique Sheet.

Wings of Joy, Emerging from the Cocoon – OBW #101

14 Replies

You can probably tell, I’m a huge fan of Josephine Wall panels. I feel so lucky to have found this one.

The name of the panel is Wings of Joy. I added “Emerging from the Cocoon” because I think the design suggests she is emerging with great joy. The panel measures 35″ by 43″.

I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies. With 5″ finished hexies I would fit 8 across the top and bottom of the panel. I will to trim the panel to fit the top and bottom sections. I had to give her a destination, so I using my Star 60 Ruler and my Star 60 Log Cabin Technique Sheet, I added a 15″ log cabin star.

My Star 60 Log Cabin finishes as 15″. I stitched three rows of hexies together above and below each half of the log cabin star, which made it possible to seamless add the 15″ star.

Now, I have the top, right and bottom sections ready.

Above, all four sections have been added to the panel.

After a little tweaking “Wings of Joy, Emerging from the Cocoon” is ready to quilt. She measures 100″ wide by 70″ tall. As always, I use Island Batik fabrics to enhance my OBW’s.
