Winding Ways

Book(s): The Winding Ways Quilt, Traditions from Elm Creek Quilts

In The Winding Ways Quilt, Sylvia makes this quilt as a gift for her friends, a symbol of the different paths through life they will follow and how they will always be welcomed home to Elm Creek Manor. Sylvia’s version is actually nine separate quilts of nine blocks apiece, hung closely together so that they appear to be a single quilt. Unlike Sylvia, I made one single quilt, but like her I used different fabrics for each section inspired by the Elm Creek Quilters’ personalities.

Machine pieced by by Jennifer Chiaverini using fabrics from "Elm Creek Quilts: The Winding Ways Quilt Collection" from Red Rooster Fabrics, machine quilted by Sue Vollbrecht, 2009.
