This busy quilt is a boisterous combination of blocks filled with movement, repetition, and a touch of chaos, much like many downtown centers. The State Street from my childhood was in a quiet
suburban town where my grandmother lived and my mother grew
up. Lots of strawberry fields and family-owned shops. The name has a very nostalgic and cozy
comfortability for me. I hope you enjoy this project and are able to give it your own sense of
home, as well.
The main kick to this quilt is the highlight of 5 large “fussy-cut” squares. All other fabrics are more scrappy in nature and create the happy, colorful clamor of this project. These large squares give your eyes a few spots to rest. There are some other rest stops for your eyes to rest as well. It is up to you how busy or calm your State Street is.
Finished size: 60” x 60”
