This is a happy post because I have two quilts made with my new INTRIGUE collection to show you that are virtually done. Okay--one needs to have its binding sewn down, but that is close enough, don't you think?
First one done is called More Than Stars. This quilt is 50" square. There is also a queeen size version (fourth photo) that is part of the pattern. A sample for the larger quilt will not be attending Market. Just this one. Enjoy the photos, especially the one on my kitchen table. It is going to look fantastic with my Fiestaware!
Next up is a little 40" x 44" wall hanging that you saw in my last post. Here it is quilted. The binding will be sewn down tonight--at least that's the plan.
