The Gentleman's Relish Quilt

At last … some sewing ... I'm really taking advantage of my days off, I can tell you!



I'm calling this the Gentleman's Relish Quilt because it's for a Gentleman and because the monochrome and the scratchy Heath fabric reminds me of the packaging for Patum Peperium (anchovy relish) yum ... my absolute fave thing ever ...

... just typing that makes me want to go and make toast ...

The pattern is Briana's Modern Houndstooth Quilt - from Issue 4 of Fat Quarterly, but I'm going to sash it differently I think ...

 It's really easy to piece and the blocks should come together quite quickly ... you can see more of the process in my flickr set here
 


Here’s a mock up of what it would look like if I did a gazillion blocks …
