Chevron Posies

Here is my latest quilt. The pattern is called Chevron Posies. It was a quick and simple quilt to make. The construction of it is very similar to that of the log cabin quilt, which I enjoy making. This one required fussy cutting, and I decided that I am not a fan of fussy cutting. That really slows down the process and you all know how I like to speed through things. The smallest square on the quilt was supposed to have been fussy cut, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, so I didn't and it turned out fine.

I was all pumped to try mom's border technique, but since this quilt has mitered corners on the border, I don't think I could have used mom's technique. The borders don't appear to be ruffly, so hopefully mom won't have to mess with them in order to quilt it. Or maybe I will try to quilt it. We will see.

It is cool- I like the chevron design. Here is my question- are they called chevron because of the company or did the company use the chevron design and then call themselves chevron? Anyone??

did the orange that grows in a tree get its name from the color orange or did the color orange get its name from the orange that grows in a tree?
