Double X Folly

 

This pattern, Double X, designed by Mabeth Oxenrider, appeared in the 1999 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. She used fabrics designed by Pat Nichols, reproductions of 1840's textiles. So I collected a lot of them over the years. It's taken this long to get to that project box, and the pandemic helped bring it to the top of the pile. 

I completed this quilt top in February. It is so big I had to lay it out on the living room floor. I moved my sewing machine close by and let me tell you, this is back breaking work picking up and putting down the blocks. And stepping all over them to boot! It measures approximately 100” by 100.” Can you spot the "folly?"
