And here’s another of my “quilts from panels” series. This fabric really struck me as fresh and wintery. The panel and border are “Holiday Wishes” by Henry Glass. The red and green are also Henry Glass fabrics, but from other collections. And the gray is Kona. It was 50″ x 65″ before washing.
And I love, love the unrelated glittery tree print (Robert Kaufman) that I found for the back.
All of the quilting is with white Bottom Line, except for the red and green on the border, which is Magnifico and Fantastico.
Each block has a large snowflake quilted on it, surrounded by strippling. This was almost totally ineffective. Next time I would use a very heavy thread/yarn to do a snowflake outline in couching or bobbin work.
The gray border turned out much better.
I think it turned out to be very fun and festive.
Look for this soon in my Etsy shop.
“Summer Stars on Fawn Lake”, the mystery quilt designed by 
I made the smaller version (3″ stars!) that finished at 79 x 88″ with the borders. This is the first one of these where I used a dark background. I had a lot of dark batik scraps from a space quilt I made a long time ago. I bought a little more to make enough, and the “feathery” batik for the borders and backing. The rest was scraps, especially bright, multi-color and juvenile scraps.
This is quilted with black Bottom Line on the bottom, and black and purple Bottom Line and purple Art Studio Colors on the top. The effect is pretty subtle, but it can be seen up close. I needed a thread that would blend well with the dark batik, but not be too dark on the bright fabrics. So purple was my neutral.
This week I used 3.75 yards of fabric on this baby quilt, an I didn’t buy any fabric.
Here’s the finished baby quilt I never got around to posting. Finally getting back into a bit of a routine, although the garden is taking some of my time.
This week I’m making some scrappy star blocks for Kat’s
