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.

I really like the border you put on your Moda Love quilt. Chooky's Scrub Stitchin' Retreat had many of the ladies making this quilt. I love your colors so much though!!! I think we must have similar taste.

The second quilt you shared is very pretty as well. It looks like windows in a very happy room.
