Night Sky

"Night Sky" is a Thimble Blossoms design and is made with one of my favourite blocks, Sawtooth Stars - loads of stars, stars within stars.  I used Thimble Blossoms' "Nantucket Summer" fabrics for the quilt top and binding and one of her "Shoreline" fabrics for the backing.

I made the quilt to the pattern and I'm now wishing I'd added another column to the width so it would sit better on a queen bed.

Karen used "Clamshells" and it looks wonderful - doesn't overwhelm the stars.

The backing fabric is lovely - feels like a polished cotton/sateen.

Back to sewing up some more Stegosauruses this afternoon.

Seaglass Quilt

I can't remember how many years ago I cut out these Bonnie and Camille 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" strips to make Susan Ache's "Seaglass Variation".

The alternate blocks are a red spot on white cotton.  I started sewing the strips together in early February.

I asked Karen to use Clamshells for the quilting - always a favourite.

The backing is made of two pieces:  Bonnie and Camille's  "Shine On" and Thimble Blossoms' "Lighthearted".

Last October I finished making the blocks for Thimble Blossoms' "Night Sky" quilt and, for some unknown reason, they sat in the Pink Room until early March when I decided to sew them together and add a border.

I made this backing to use for Tiny Nine Patch but it goes much better with "Night Sky".

The binding is sewn on ready to stitch down, hopefully tonight.

Sweet Escape Cot Quilt

I had some "Sweet Escape" blocks leftover, so thought I'd made a cot quilt using the same design.  It's very sweet.

"Lighthearted" fabric for the backing and Modern Loops for the quilting.

Before I went on my Elizabeth Hartman trip, I was making lots and lots of Sawtooth Stars for Thimble Blossoms' "Night Sky" quilt.  Using her "Shoreline" range for this quilt.

Might get back to them in a few weeks.
