Here’s another Hachi style quilt. This one was made as part of a project for our quilt guild.

If you’ve been following my blog recently you’ll know that Hachi style quilts always have an “unexpected visitor”. In this quilt, the visitor is readily apparent but not out of character with the either the quilt’s fabrics nor the design. The unexpected visitor in this quilt is the dark gold blocks. They do just what they are supposed to do—add a pop of color and add visual interest to the quilt.

The full length blue band is 4 inches wide, one of the dimensions allowed in a Hachi style quilt. I needed to add it to get the quilt to the requested width of at least 60 inches wide and 72 inches long.

If you are a new visitor to my blog, and want to learn more about Hachi style quilts, check out my post from November 4, 2021. This is my 4th Hachi style quilt in the past few months. The 8 inch blocks are quick to piece but offer endless design options. I’d had this a stack of batik fat quarters in my stash for several years never found a quilt pattern I wanted to make using them. But they were perfect for this project!
