Pine Burr Quilt!

This awesome quilt is the creation of Nifty Quilts
Each "pine burr" is made from a 3" square, 
folded twice on the diagonal, and each block has about 144 burrs. 
Follow the link to Nifty's blog to see how to do this. 
I think the floral fabric in the outer border is just perfect!
The sashing is denim. Oh Nifty, you rock!
***
The Pine Burr Quilt is the official state quilt of Alabama
Gee, I wonder if Connecticut has an official state quilt.

  1. I love this quilt and wish I had time to make one! Unfortunately, Kansas does not have a state quilt. I'm quite impressed that some states do!

  2. Connecticut's state quilt should be SELVAGE, of course!

  3. It is such a wonderful quilt! It must be even more interesting in real with its 3D effect... It is a quilt that brings joy and warmth at home, a genuine masterpiece, bravo LeeAnn !

  4. No one does it like LeeAnn, she turns recycled into beauty time and time again:0), I think she has a great color sense too.
    Another great Nifty creation!

    Happy Sewing
