I went to a fairly small, but excellent, local quilt show on Thursday.
There were some wonderful examples of good work (there were three quilts
by Liz Jones who has just won two firsts at Houston - it is her home
group!).
I just wanted to tell you about one, though, as it was such a good,
simple idea - and very pretty.
It was a lap quilt I guess, but the size doesn't matter.
The blocks were set on point, but instead of the usual setting
triangles, the maker had used quadrants. So the whole had a scalloped
edge. The quilt was 'scrappy', made from Liberty tana lawn prints and a
plain cream linking everything. Lovely.

Pat, is there any chance you took photos? I'm trying to see this in my
head and I'm having a hard time. And it sounds lovely. How wonderful
to see such talent.

This meaning of "quadrant" is a quarter of a circle. So imagine a
slice of circle with the round edge away from the quilt.
Clear as mud?

So sorry Sunny, I didn't take my camera.
The blocks were something like log cabin, but not quite. So, imagine a
log cabin quilt, with blocks set on point. Instead of filling the
triangular spaces with setting *triangles*, and squaring off the corners
with triangles, the lady had made quadrants of a circle (which have the
required right angled triangle as the bit attached to the quilt). This
left the quarter circles standing proud of the quilt edge. These were
left and bound in the scalloped way (to inside points).

That IS a good idea, very 30's but easier. Except of course you'd have
a seam intersection right at the "innie" angle where it's already
going to be tricky getting a neat binding. How did she handle that?
Facing maybe?
