I thought if I worked on quilting this for just 1 hour a day, I could finish it in just a few days--less than a week. And it worked!
Traditionally, Duckworth Quilts get quilted with a simple grid. Easy enough to do at home! This is from the back. I used a Dream Wool batt -- I love the way it puffs so nicely, but stays light and airy.
JoAnn Duckworth, who developed this scrap pattern, recently died. Thank you for her color inspiration and sharing this pattern so freely. May she rest in peace.
Here's a detail shot of one of the "fish" on the front side. The log cabin centers are all orange -- the fish. The water is any blue scraps I had in the stash. I did not buy anything to make this quilt top.
The theme is Koi Pond, but it's pretty abstract. My friend Laura gave me some koi fish fabric, and I worked that in with the label on the back side.
This was so much fun! I will very likely make another one some day.
