Quilt Windpower

Description

This would be a great quilt for a guy for graduation or a grooms quilt. A "grooms" quilt being a quilt that is user friendly, scrappy and earthy "guy" colors. It is on the couch, in the recliner and on the floor. By contrast the "brides" quilt is for show, it is fussy, never sat on or rumpled and it might get slept under on anniversaries.

The block is a traditional pattern, the lady of the lake. It is set on point and 4 blocks together made a large pinwheel block. I matched the fabric in 3 of the 4 blades to represent the 3-bladed wind turbines sprouting up all over South Dakota. There are 12 wind turbines intermingled in this quilt. There is also a humility block, those things just happen.

This quilt measures 55" x 69", it has a double bias binding. It was machine pieced and free motion machine quilted by the maker. Machine wash and dry using a gentle soap and gentle cycle. Because it is 100% cotton front, back and batting it will shrink some when washed but that shrinkage will enhance the look and feel of the quilt. Complete care instructions will come with the quilt. I can sew a hanging sleeve on the back.
