Thankfully No More Thangles

Last January friend Cheryl and I

started celebrating "Thangles Thursdays"

Below is Cheryl with the completed pieced top:


We both created the same top
though mine has darker blue sashing
and wide black borders.

Mine is off to Ebony for my
first ever quilt completed by a
professional long arm quilter.

Thangle Thursdays

We've dropped the "third" - now it's just Thangle Thursdays, & our Amish Colors are increasing.

I've been doing more quilt reading lately, and in Masters: Art Quilts (which I Love) I learned that the 1971 Whitney Museum of American Art exhibit in New York that some cite as the beginning of the Art Quilt Movement actually featured an Amish Quilt Collection. (Admission: I just ordered the exhibition catalog on Amazon!) And I thought my love of Amish quilts was just due to my summers around them in the Ozarks growing up, go figure. . .

Third Thursday Thangles

Dear friend Cheryl & I are committing to actually creating
all the "Buck A Block" patterns we purchased in 2008 from
our LQS.
I'm not usually a traditional girl when quilts are involved,
but since we chose the "Amish" colorway
I can enjoy the abstract things that result
from those beautiful solids.
