Indian Hatchet

Indian Hatchet is another quilt sent to Lori for quilting. I pieced these blocks on and off for several years and she's finally totally finished!

Indian Hatchet has been quilted with an all over stacked snails design which is perfect for this very scrappy quilt. The quilting doesn't show on the top of the quilt.

After washing she measures 64" by 79" and has become the couch quilt.

And the back side of the couch.


For the binding, I used a variety of fabrics.

The backing fabric is several large pieces of yardage leftover from other projects. I thought a scrappy backing was appropriate for this quilt.

    Dear Gretchen,
    You are becoming a woman of quilts. Your whole cloth quilt, and now this scrappy one too. Hope you are settled into your new home and get to spend lots of quality time with the farmer. Life fly past and spending time together making memories is the best! Have a wonderful weekend.

    The two sizes of triangles as well as the scrappiness catch the eye again and again. And that's my kind of backing!

    I can tell the scrap basket was used for this one - and betting you still have a lot of them to use - it never gets empty right?

    Looks great, Gretchen. Love that pieced back; I hate to piece backings, but it's a great way to use up otherwise unused fabric.

    It looks great and its certainly a good idea go piece the backing from nice big pieces of fabric.

    Your quilt is wonderful - I love scrappy quilts!
    Are you corner triangles various sizes or just 2? I have so many scrappy squares cut, looking for a fun way to use them up.
    Thanks for the inspiration!
