KatiBobSquarePants

Posted by on
Kati from the blue chair has, for some time, been one of my favourite current quilters. She has great vision, moves freely between modern and traditional designs, always putting her own stamp on whatever she makes and always with perfect taste and style. Sheesh, I'd never be a copywriter, I'm rubbish at writing this stuff but I am a HUGE fan of her work and nearly feel tearful looking at this. Is that weird?

Stash Quilt Side A by from the blue chair

I'm five blocks into LynneBobSquarePants and Kati has only gone and made 16 blocks and look how toe curlingly fabulous this looks.  Look at that one green block. I never think of stuff like that. And look how there are no extra sashings or borders - just the blocks then the binding. I know I'm going on and on so I will shut up now. But I love it. A lot. lot.

    It's absolutely stunning isn't it?! I love this block to pieces and Kati has just made me fall in love all over again. A wonderful quilt and a great pattern.

    Yes, that green block is brilliant!

    I'm not surprised you love it so - and a green block - what could be better! I'm definitely in green mode at the moment...tra la!

    I liked the block having just done it for the Brit bee, but now I love it as a quilt! Stunning!

    I fell in love with this quilt. When I first saw her 1st block, I didn't realize you'd created it. I took hers as inspiration and made one out of the HST's I'd received in a friendship swap. http://moneik.blogspot.com/2011/05/weekend-sewing.html I'm working on 4 more blocks from the same HST's. I've already started cutting out another quilt using some pink/brown scraps in a bigger size using the same block. I just love this block.

    Isn't Kati the bomb? I adore her stuff, too - that green block being a great example of how she puts her creative stamp on everything she does.

    Kati's stuff is so fun... I agree... and I love this quilt. :)

    (And I love that you're a blog-love sharer... rising above the occasional cattiness that pops up around these parts)

    Two great minds: one awesome quilt! I love the secondary white posy shape: definitely cool sans sashing or borders.

    This is just lovely - so open and free - I'm wondering about undoing a quilt I started a few years ago using some charm squares and using them on something like this - thanks for sharing Lynne
