Canada, It's Provinces and Territories - The Blocks

I blogged about this quilt in my previous post, and this blog is all about the front and back of each block from Canada, It's Provinces and Territories.

Canada, It's Provinces and Territories

There is a lot of free motion quilting in this quilt (done on a domestic machine) and I have to say, it is my favourite part of making a quilt.

The inspiration for a lot of the quilting patterns are Leah Day designs.  Check out her 400+ designs at The Free Motion Quilting Project.

I made a few changes to the original patterns, added some 3-D elements to some blocks, and a few others as noted below.

Yukon

Québec

I believe this pattern represents the weaving industry of Québec, the original was pieced, I decided to weave my strips instead.

Alberta

This was originally an 8" block which I changed to a 12" block so it may look slightly different.

British Columbia

The pattern for this block was originally one fish on a rectangular block, I added the second fish to fill in the 12" block.
