Deborah Cohen's Trinity Celtic Knot Quilt Pattern 2009


Deborah's quilt began with her desire to celebrate what makes marriage work.
For her two colors express how the partners contribute and the third represents faith and love completing the pattern.
Her fascination with Celtic knots gave her a way of expressing three interwoven ideas. She interpreted this in simple squares.
I started my quilt top as a mystery last year.
At the time we made 'chunks' consisting of 9 nine patch blocks.
We could make our squares any size we liked. I choose a 2" sq. I have had several requests to sew another. I plan to use this pattern again in a 2 1/2"sq. using different colors..
This pattern and more about Deborah were published in the Australian Quilting Mag. earlier this year. If you find the issue, please save it for me!-
What did you work on for your Friday Night Sew-IN?

Lynne has posted the Reveal of the Mystery- Celtic Knot- If you are doing this as a mystery (don't look)

If NOT- hurry and get your instructions printed b/c once you see this one you are going to wish you had the pattern.

This is one of the few patterns I would have paid to have. I am hoping to get permission to Do This One with our small quilting group as a Scrap Swap. Soon as I get the OK I will share our progress.

HURRY- You will WANT to at least get started. cw

http://lynnesfreshhope.blogspot.com/2009/07/celtic-knotwork-1.html

Not making any promises but I am hoping to get a couple of more quilters to play along. Lynne has permission from Deborah Cohen to offer the original design as a mystery.
I hope to make a RW&B (and yellow) version for myself. I really, really need another patriotic quilt.

You can read about it on Lynnes blog and as soon as I get permission from her to re-post in my words I will start documenting my progress. good luck, can't wait to see who joins in. Go to Lynnesfreshhope.blogspot.com and sign up as a follower to see each step when it come available.
