One thing I learned when doing Shakespeare In The Park is "the value of value".

I replaced several blocks because there was not enough contrast in the value and the Snail's Trail design got lost.
I finally divided all of my chosen fabrics into 3 piles; Light value, medium value and dark value.

I eliminated the entire medium value pile and the quilt was much more dynamic because of that decision!

My favorite pattern of Judy Martin is Shakespeare in The Park. I used her pattern to make a quilt for my nephew's high school graduation gift several years ago.

That quilt is on my list of quilts to do. I may need to rethink my color choices on it after seeing yours.

Margo -

Your quilt is beautiful! It definitely brings the sand and sea of Myrtle Beach to mind! I haven't been there since the early 80's when we went there a couple of times for family vacations....

I love that panto and think I've seen it on other quilts on mqresource.com. Really brings to mind the surf!

Nancy

Good eye, Nancy! I learned of "Gypsy Feather" from VictoriaQuilts on MQR!

Have you done any of Judy Martin's other quilts from that book? I must be crazy because I am looking at doing either the Snake River Log Cabin, Finger Lakes Log Cabin or Shoreline Log Cabin. Just counted the number of pieces in them and wondering if I have lost my mind (anywhere from 4,500 pieces in 1 to 7,600 pieces in another). I have never tried anything with that many pieces but I just keep thinking - you just sew 1 piece at a time....

Hi Teresa -

I have plans for a Snake River Log Cabin in caramel and black (the colors of my dog). I plan to make the border a little wider and add a dog applique prancing around it, as the quilt to represent my current dog. I've been collecting fabrics for a while and have some of the pieces cut and organized in silverware trays, but haven't started any of the sewing. I thought the Summer Lake pattern would take a long time to piece from looking at it, but it went together pretty quickly. I think the Snake River one will go together fine if I just take it one piece at a time. I'm looking forward to seeing your other beautiful Judy Martin quilts as you make them!! Like I said, I'm a big fan!!
