It all started last year when the lovely people at Andover asked if I wanted to play with fabric from a new designer. Her name was Sarah Golden, and her first line was to be Maker Maker. It was also going to be printed completely on Andover’s cotton linen blend, their tailored cloth. I’m a sucker for their tailored cloth.
Also, by some weird coincidence, it tends to snow when I get fun fabric from Andover. Anyway.
I zipped through the blocks fairly quickly. Half of them are paper-pieced, which is not my favorite way to make a quilt. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Especially to create that super cool angle (Blue Thunder the sewing machine for scale).
And because I was in a time crunch to get this shipped off to Andover for their booth at QuiltCon, that means I had to quilt it. Which means that it got straight line quilting. Curves are too hard for me on a domestic! Unless I go really really slow, but I didn’t have time for slow.
I love the graphic contrast of the blues and greys against the white. It really makes it pop and gives it a whole different look from the throw sized version, click here if you haven’t seen it.
And since all of our fierce quilts finish at 24″ or less, Fierce Protean is a dainty 21¾” x 21¾”.

Yonder Quilt Along: Row 15
Row 15 of Yonder and there’s snow on the ground! It kind of looks like the background grunge in my Yonder. I’m a fan. So Row 15, it’s another row of small V blocks and I’m deep into teal territory. I finally switched it up from my original plan and used some of the new…
Yonder Quilt Along: Row 14
Yes! Big blocks (I like big blocks and I can not lie), specifically Big V Blocks. There aren’t that many in Yonder, but they’re a great place to use a print with more space or a bigger print. I know I know, I say that and people get scared. It’ll be fun! I used this…
Yonder Quilt Along: Row 13
It snowed this week and I saw plenty of geese flying south. Maybe they’re heading to the land of the Tula sea shells? I had a fat quarter of the Tula Pink sea shells from Zuma. And it was plenty. Like always. When it comes to these little rows, it’s so hard to give a…
Yonder Quilt Along: Row 12
Another short row! Man, I love these. Even though this is one of the tricky arch rows, it went together fast. I’m working on greens, moving from yellow greens into blue greens, so this stripe is a great transition piece. I thought it was from Tula’s basic line but the selvedge says Tabby Road. It’s…
