Peanut Butter

This was a free pattern from "Then Came June" on Instagram.  Loved making this and was able to use up lots of lovely scraps and favourite low volumes.

I stuck with pink/green/yellow/orange for the borders and shades of blue/aqua for the posts.

I love the pretty Rosalie Dekker backing fabric.

This quilting design "Verdant" is new to me.  I asked Karen to choose the design and it works well with this quilt.

The quilt was finished 17 July 2023.

I knitted some of H's cardigan while at the hospital with Mum.  His favourite colour is cyan, so I was glad I had enough in the stash to make this - I added to stripes to make sure I had enough cyan.  The pattern is from the wrapping on a ball of wool from Big W.
 

Moda Love Quilt

This quilt was finished in April.  "Moda Love" is a free block design from Moda Fabrics - it's basically the traditional Carpenter's Wheel block.  Instructions are given for various sized fabrics from 2-1/2" squares to 10" (layer cake) squares.

Didn't have quite enough of the white-on-white background fabric so used some Moda Bella Solid Ruby Ice to add contrast.  The rest of the quilt is made with Thimble Blossoms' second range "Dwell" - I like the pretty pinks.

Karen used "Hearts and Stars" for the quilting - it gives a lovely texture.

The backing is from Bonnie and Camille's "Shine On" range - so many lovely fabrics in this range.

I noticed that Then Came June posted a free pattern and decided to make the quilt from my stash of low volumes with pink, orange, coral, yellow and green fabrics for the sashings and blue, turquoise and teal fabrics for the posts (as per one of the suggestions in the fabric).

So pleased with how this has turned out - so fresh and pretty and, as a friend said, a great pattern to use up busier low volume fabrics.

Waiting for backing fabric to arrive then it can be sent off for quilting.
