Prairie Grass Quilt
It's about time I made a quilt to be the "mascot" quilt for my blog. This is the Prairie Grass quilt.
Can you tell I'm sort of obsessed with the slice/insert technique lately?
Makes me happy!
I think what I like best is how this fabric (the print on the back of the quilt) looks so different cut in thin strips and makes perfect "blades" of grass. I also love the osnaburg fabric in the background.

Beautiful!
Love the mascot quilt! That truly is the perfect grass fabric cut up.
I am a botanist who works in prairie conservation in the greater Chicago region and I am a quilter too. Great to see your interpretation of tallgrass prairie and yes, really perfect fabric choice to get variegation in the leaf blades.
Love it! And agree with how perfect the print was for the thin strips. I've had some thin strip quilts in my sketchbook for awhile. Think it's about time I brought them to life.
Ooh, I love this! It's perfect.
The quilt is terrific. Bravo!
Perfect mascot quilt.
Oh man, this is awesome in so many ways!!! Perfect mascot for you!
This is beautiful Jacquie!!!! I love that backing fabric. Glad you are home sewing today. Enjoy!!!
I love the hexagons!!!
Hi!!! I love your mascot quilt!!!! Very pretty!!!!
Great quilt, Jacquie!
Those thin strips call me every time I see them, I think this quilt is beautiful. And I thought you pieced all those beautiful colours at first, what a great fabric to use.
This quilt is beautiful! And I can't believe I won!! Woo hoo!

Love the mascot quilt! It's amazing the difference between the whole fabric and the sliced version. Perfection!
Wow - that is so amazing how different the fabric looks. The quilting is fabulous as well!
what a great idea, It turned out beautiful!
Great quilt....for some reason it makes me think of the Overland Park Arboretum!
brilliant use of that fabric for the grass reeds. Great execution!
Awesome. Love the quilting. could you tell me how you did the little wavy lines? I have a quilt I want to quilt with the wavy lines on my longarm. Beautiful
Love it! That fabric is awesome and looks perfect cut into blades of grass too.

Pretty!
Wow! this is so beautiful!
Love it!
Another winner, Jacquie! I too have been intrigued lately with how cross-cuts of fabrics produce varying looks...it merits lots of exploring:)
Love this quilt. I'm just such a fan of your style.
I'm overhauling my sewing room in bits and pieces which includes trying to cull and make sense of two inherited stashes. No sewing for me today, but hopefully, after this it will be much easier to start and stop in the small pieces of time that I do have.
Love it! That fabric is fantastic - it looks like you pieced all those strips.
It is a great mascot quilt for your work - although I'll miss the bridge a bit :)
I thought those strips looked awfully precisely pieced at first too! I love the wavy quilting lines...reminds me of prairie grasses!
I still think your quilts belong in Museums! To watch the grass blowing in the wind! Perfect!
Nicely done! I guess that means you are done with your deadlines...
Love this quilt...the traveling quilts have been fun to follow!
Prairie Grass quilt rocks. I love the simplicity and grace you gave it.
What a beautiful quilt. So very "YOU"!!
