Trixie for SUU!!!

 Yup, today I get to share another SUU Quilt in my favorite Red, White, and Black color combo!!! Last summer at the Panguitch Quilt Walk , I managed to squeeze in a class.   I almost got all my blocks done in class which was good, because I found I needed them last week when there arose a sudden need for an SUU quilt (someone special was retiring ;)  So I finished up the quilt top, added quilting and binding and tada . . .  my SUU Trixie Quilt and the pattern is by Hello Melly Designs.  

This was a super fun class from a year ago. It's always fun when the blocks are just in two different color layouts as the chain stitching doesn't require a lot of thought ;)     For this version I went with all solids.   I just love geometric quilts in solids, they really make all of the secondary designs just pop!!!  And I know I have said it before, but    I am just so glad my Alma Mater has Red, White, and Black for the school colors as I never get tired of making quilts in this color combo. 

And once again, I added an SUU layered applique to the corner of the quilt. You can really do just about anything with this layered applique technique!!   You can find the step by step tutorial here for layered applique :)   It is just the perfect way to finish off these School Quilts!! 

When it came time to quilt this Trixie Quilt I decided on an all over swirl ;)  It is a great go to that adds lots of texture and always looks awesome on a geometric quilt.       And of course, a red thread was perfect for this quilt and I just love how it pops on the white and black.  

And that is my SUU Trixie Quilt.  The pattern has several size options and I made the Throw Size 68" x81" so it will be great for cuddling up in during a cold game :) And this one has already been gifted and has a happy new home with a friend.  Quilty hugs are the best!!!

Thanks again for popping in for another quilt finish!!

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!
