Rin Quilt

When I posted last month about my finished Hunt Quilt, I suddenly remembered that my Rin Quilt was also finished.  Rin is another pattern from Carolyn Friedlander, also featuring circles.  And like my Hunt quilt, I stitched some of these blocks at the beach.

Even as I worked on the applique, I felt like the colors and aesthetic of this quilt might interest my mom.  So last September, just before my daughter’s wedding, I had it quilted.  I was able to bind it before my parents came to town, and gift it to my mom for her birthday.

I chose a simple edge to edge design for the quilting.  Another navy blue for the binding.  And I felt super lucky to snap a couple of photos before I had to wrap it up.

These blocks were awfully fun to stitch, with all their scallops.  For the back I picked a quatrefoil design in navy blue.  It complements the quilt nicely, I believe.

It’s fun to see these photos and remember the fabrics I used.  I loved working with them, and most of them were also designed by Carolyn.  I wonder what fabrics I would choose today, if I were to re-make this quilt.  My tastes have evolved, and I started this Rin quilt in 2017.  I’m sure it would be different!  Regardless, it’s lovely and I’m thrilled to have completed it.
