Jordan Fabrics has a free pattern called Rolling Stone. They have a wonderful site and great daily emails with ideas. I used a layer cake from Anna Maria Horner called Made my day that I got somewhere on special. Her fabric is so, so colorful and lovely. This pattern uses almost every single piece. I finished the top awhile ago, but recently quilted it. I got the backing from Gwen in a box of fabric she sent and it went with the theme of the front fabric I thought, just bigger (why not?). It was a picky pattern to make, but I really like it. I quilted in a new blue Glide and I did lots of stitching on it. I know some of you hate that, but I love turning quilts into textural delights. My taste preference on display.
Lots of pretty prints in the quilt and I like the block too. I have a few of Anna Maria's prints.
ReplyDeleteGreat backing for it too.
Aw, that reminds me of my Great-grandmother! She made several quilts with that block.
ReplyDeleteI love stitching lots of texture into a quilt. While, some people say it makes the quilt stiff, mine are still very soft and cuddly.
ReplyDeleteI love how colorful this quilt is. It looks great.
Beautiful! I love the quilting.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with Gene Black, my quilts with lots of texture are
not stiff, they're soft and cuddly.
Thats a beauty!!!
