This is Kaffe Fassett's Handerkercheif Corners quilt I am making for Dad. With the help of Connie from the Whistlestop Quilt Shop and quilting friends, I was able to modify the pattern in the book to avoid dreded Y-seams. The square with the solid edges are bi-products of every block I am making for the quilt. I guess I will use them as a border or make another quilt with them. It is worth it not to have to do a Y-seam! This quilt is time consuming and requires extreme attention to detail because of the stripped fabric. The fabric feels thin like madras adding to the complexity. What can I say? I love Dad and this is the quilt he selected. It is non-tradtional, just like him!
