Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Buzz Saw

IMG_2690

I've got all my Buzz Saw blocks finished and ready to sew together.  The light blue color palette is so soothing. I know I will end up passing this quilt on to Sara, probably for her birthday.  The colors seem to suit her better than they do me, and I know that she likes the quilt a lot from comments she has made.

There is one more row on the floor (it wouldn't fit on the design wall).  The quilt will end up being about 70 inches wide and a bit longer.

Also, the quilt is not really meant to be called Buzz Saw.  I just nick named it that, as it is the traditional name of the block and the fabric has a bee motif going on.  It seemed fitting.  The fabric line and pattern are designed by Kathy Schmitz for Moda.  The pattern is called Summer Wind (sounds like a feminine product–I much prefer Buzz Saw) and the fabric line is called Garden Notes.

  10. You are so funny! I am laughing about the Summer Wind name. You are absolutely right! I can’t stop laughing now. The block design is so eye catching and I think you are visionary for finding a pattern so complimentary to the fabric! Love it!

  16. Your quilt is so soft & cozy looking! I’d go with Buzz Saw instead of the ‘other’ name, too! Although, it’s pretty funny when you think about it!
