ALASKA

ALASKA, Machine Quilting
ALASKA Blue Ribbon - Adult
Pattern ALASKA by: Laundry Basket Quilts
Design by : Edyta Sitar
Edyta's lifelong relationship with fabric began in Poland at a very young age, when she cut her mother's drapes to design her first project. Fortunately, for all of us, Edyta's mother recognized her passion for fabric that would later unfold into a consummate gift. One of Edyta's dearest blessings is her marriage to her husband, Michael--and connection to the Sitar family quilting tradition.

For: The Shelby Country Go Texan-- Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
I saw this quilt on the internet and feel in love. I order the pattern and selected fabrics from my stash. I choose blue and gold, the colors of the Alaska flag. The pattern is written for a 9” block. My quilt is made with a 10” block. I use the Studio 180 Wedge Star ruler for the conversion. I quilted it on my old hand guided Gammell Classic (Times like this I really wish I had a computerize machine.) It was a challenge but fun at the same time.
