Hannah's Inspiration

Hannah was my great grandmother's sister. In 1877 she made a quilt with over 10,000 pieces. I found the information in a small article in a Linesville, PA newspaper.

Hannah's Inspiration has 4440 pieces in the center. It has 120 blocks. By time I finished the last block, I never wanted to make another pineapple block again. That has changed, as I am making another pineapple quilt.

Hannah's Inspiration is made with shades of four colors, red, blue, yellow/gold, and green. There is white in some of the fabrics I chose. In the blocks, I used some of the same fabrics, but every block is constructed differently.

And, the back is pieced....................

What's on My Design Board

13 July 2009
I worked on these blocks at the quilt retreat this past weekend. The blocks on the right are not finished, I ran out of strips. At the moment it doesn't look like much. It is all batiks.

UNFINISHED.......................
78 Flavors of Batiks
I need to piece a back, quilt, and then bind.
The quilt gets it's name because it has 78 different batiks in it.
When it is finished, I will make a pattern
