Garden Maze Quilt Design

Garden Maze Antique Quilt from the Ardis and Robert James Collection at the International Quilt Center Study Museum.

Last week I shared a photo of a quilt from the International Quilt Center Study museum and shared the analysis of the quilt (prior to any drafting in Electric Quilt).  You can read more here.

Did you figure out that the quilt was based on a horizontal grid (with sashing)?  And that the sashing is actually larger than the block.

During the video this week, I will share the entire drafting process.  Even my trick for figuring out the correct proportions of the main blocks versus the sashing.

I did take some design license and cleaned up the on point borders so there were the same number (and the same spacing) on all four sides.  I am sure the quilter would have done this if she had owned EQ. ​

Here is the quilt from the video.  Now that I have done the "antique" version of the quilt, I am thinking about a modern variation of the quilt as well.  But I will save that for a future post.

Would you like to share your quilt? I've set up a post in the Learning EQ Facebook group.

Happy quilting.
