about this quilt

The pattern my friend H. chose is Back to Blue from Fons & Porter's Easy Quilts, Summer 2015. The instructions are for a full size quilt, and we're making a twin quilt, so we have to play with the fabric yardage a bit.

The inspiration for the construction of this quilt is taken directly from The Weighted Blanket: An Easy Quilting Project by Rob Appell of Man Sewing. Rob's a man who sews! Cool, eh?

Other quilters I take inspiration from are Kaye Wood of the PBS series Kaye Wood's Quilting Friends (click to go to my favorite video of hers!), and Jenny Doan of the Missouri Star Quilt Company.
