I have really enjoyed piecing this quilt top; it has provided me with something to focus on while the humidity rose and the rains came to Melbourne. It certainly is a Summer like no other before it.
Strange as it may seem but I really felt the "need" to make a batch of Half Square Triangle Blocks late last week. With any ado I got started making the above quilt back using HSTs in a Zig-Zag layout, and segregating the Soul Blossoms fabrics into their Bliss, Joy, and Passion color palette. The background solid fabric is Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in Ash ~ and I just love how the grey has made the printed fabrics sparkle!
I've not yet finished with Kei Honeycomb fabric to bind my quilts ~ this white dot on a light blue background makes for a really pretty quilt edge.
Furthermore, I have been busy writing a pattern for this quilt.
The pattern is called Sweet Daisy and is available for purchase as a pdf file from my Etsy Store AND is available for immediate download.

ReplyDeleteIt's -24C here today and i have a serious case of the winter blues. This quilt makes me happy. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteNo big surprise here Rita but I just love this new quilt. What colour thread was used for quilting? You were showing all those Rowan threads but I simply can't tell what colour you used. P.S. My younger son is in your fair city right now. He left our snowy Canadian town last week and has been warm (& wet I guess) down under since.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are wonderful!
