Hartman Triplet Quilts: Foxes

quilts

A green quilt with three orange foxes on it. There orange, purple, and yellow flowers appliqued onto the quilt. The quilting is mostly done in straight, broad lines with some finer quilting on the foxes themselves. One of the flowers overlaps an orange border a little for whimsy.

Summary: One of three quilts I made for triplets born in 2019. Each repeats a single animal three times. This uses a fox block pattern by Elizabeth Hartman, tripled and embellished with flowers.

The other two triplet quilts are: otters and hedgehogs.

The actual fox block comes from the Elizabeth Hartman’s North Stars pattern. I took it and made it more Pennsylvania: vivid orange foxes, vivid appliqué flowers, and a green background.

A partial closeup of two foxes and a subset of flowers. The foxes have tighter quilting than the background and the flowers are only outlined.

A closup of an orange flower made of hexagons. The fabric has stripes which all point outward like a real flower would

A closeup of one of the foxes. There is very tight parallel stitching along the tail, giving it more of a textured feel like a real tail.
