White Tiger Panel Quilt

I finished it.

This is the White Tiger panel quilt.

I did a simple all over stippling on it.

I know…the whole “secret” to this quilt panel is that one block. It looks like this - It’s an 8x8” finished block.

I first trimmed the panel to 28.5”x42.5”. Then, I added a border around it so it would be 32.5”x48.5”. That meant, I needed 6 (6 x 8” = 48”) of these blocks on the side and 4 (4x8” = 32”) along the top and bottom. I left the corners a nice 8” square. I liked the look it gave.

This block looks a little bit like a frog.

This ONE block is the secret here. The light is the same fabric as I used for the first border. Then I used a darker grunge and then black. I made the next border black. It kind of make sit appear as if there are 3 complicated borders. There aren’t. This is only ONE.

Let me show you some pictures I took as I made it. First of all, to get an overall picture of this block, think 4 strips - 2.5”x8.5”

I started by cutting the darker grunge at 2.5”x 8.5” - (for each block you need 2). I then “snowballed” the corners - one with a black 2.5” square and one with a lighter gray grunge (the same as the first border I just added) 2.5” squares. I sewed them in the direction as shown on the block.

Here are the photos that show what I did.

With those you have made two of the strips in the block - and now you will make the 2 strips that are a bit more complicated.

You start these strips by cutting a 2.5”x6.5” strip of darker grunge, a 2.5” black square and a light grunge - 2.5”x 4.5”.

Sew in this order as shown - Sew on crease. Feel free to trim out the extra fabric underneath the flipped fabric.

Place the dark 2.5"x6.5" grunge and the lighter piece 2.5"x 4.5" as shown. Sew on crease.

Flip back. Press flat. Snowball the other edge with your black square.

Make pieces with pieces facing opposite directions as shown

You need these pieces - facing these directions.

Now place each of the pieced strips to this block like this. Sew together, using a 1/4” seam to form a 8.5” square block. Keep checking the block diagram to get the direction in the correct placement!

As usual - I like to get a quilt roll photo

The quilt from a distance - through the trees.

And now you know! this is how the quilt turned out. I hope Peter likes it and that it gives him years of good service! I did use a cotton batting since he is in Florida.
