"Seaglass" Variation

Everyone knows I love Susan Ache's quilts (@yardgrl60 on Instagram).  I'd previously made her "Seaglass" quilt (from her book "Start with Strips") and in very early January Susan showed photos of a different version of Seaglass - this time with sashing strips and small 8-patch blocks as posts.  Such a wonderful pattern to use up all the last little pieces of very favourite fabrics.

I finished sewing down the binding last week - some nice, relaxing sewing during a huge few days.

The quilt is made using loads of FigTree & Co fabrics with Primitive Gathering's "Snowman Gathering" for the background.


"Orange Peel" quilting - 2019 is the year of "Orange Peel".


FigTree & Co "Aloha Girl" fabric for the backing and "Strawberry Fields Revisited" for the binding.


The quilt is a gift for someone super special who came into my life very unexpectedly in 2014 - I'm hoping not to see her again after April this year.

"The Good Life" version of "Butterfly Patch" is finished - no borders this time.  Waiting for backing fabric to arrive then it can be quilted.


Elizabeth and the new Little Sweetheart are doing as well as can be expected - of course, he is the perfect little baby during the day and is not-so-perfect most of the night.
