Baltimore Album Quilt

I've always been inspired by pictures of Baltimore Album Quilts in magazines and decided to make one.


This project started in mid 2010. My LQS had a series of BA BOM and with much enthusiasm I've ordered the templates and started immediately upon receiving them.

A few of the completed blocks before trimming to size
These blocks finished at 16".  I hand appliqued the blocks using my favourite needle-turn method.   It took 5 months to complete all 13 of them.


 I wanted to try a new layout so I set the blocks on point and pieced them on a diagonal by machine.  I used a green tone-on-tone fabric for the stars and a soft green solid for sashings.





I hand quilted all the blocks, side and corner triangles. Machine quilted 'in-the-ditch' for both sashings and stars.










backing
Completed this baby in 8 months.

My Baltimore Album Quilt measures 103" square.


My hubby loves the fresh and vibrant colours of this beauty.

      Salam, motif2 bunga itu ditampal dgn menggunakan teknik 'needle-turn' dan sy gunakan benang sutera supaya jahitannya nmpk halus dan kemas.
