Texas Twilight is the result of participating in National Quilters Circle block challenge. For 9 weeks, a 16" block was designed for the "Snowy Day" quilt by Andrea Smith.
I decided to use some fat quarters that were purchased several years ago. I added a light gray fabric for sashings and background of blocks.
I used 8 of the 9 patterns provided, but had to design my own block for one since I was running out of my fabric and had to design a block that would accommodate what fabric I had left.
I also added pinwheel blocks to the top and bottom as well as two borders so I could use the quilt on a twin daybed for guests.
I planned to take the quilt to a long arm quilter, but the one I attempted to contact twice never did respond. So I ended up quilting it on my domestic machine. I used stencils for the sashing, the narrow side borders, and the top/bottom inner borders. I designed the quilting motifs for the blocks, pinwheels, and outer borders.
