After I finished the last charity quilt I needed to get another quilt top ready to longarm quilt at Jukebox Quilts. As it happens I "owe" a quilt to a family member but I had no idea of what design that would be quick and easy. When I went to the LQS the owner was helping another customer pick out fabrics for a Take 5 pattern by The Teacher's Pet. It sounded like a good pattern to try out. Boy am I glad that I did because it was quick and easy and looks like it'll be just right for a guy.
Pieces for the five blocks all cut and stacked.
Two of the blocks all sewn and ready to lay out the design.
The blocks in the original layout. The next step was to twist and turn the blocks around to achieve a bit of randomness.
The top all sewn with two borders. Originally I wanted to use brown minkee but listened to the advice of my longarm quilting friends who said that would be a nightmare. Instead I found this beautiful brown fabric from Lecien. I'll use the minkee for a matching decorative pillow. I'm in the middle of piecing the backing because I still love pieced backs. In two weeks I'll take this to Jukebox Quilts and quilt it on the longarm. Not sure which pantograph I'll choose so I'll wait until I'm there to pick one out.
