Floral Bouquet from Wendy's Quilts and More

It's finished!

I'm proud to reveal "Floral Bouquet" made from Kaffe Fassett's "Starry Night" pattern in Quilts in an English Village.

I loved the Starry Night pattern, but I wanted to use some of my lighter floral Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics, so I teamed my fabrics with Tula Pink's pastel solids for this pattern and I love the result.

The Cactus Flower print has some great motifs that are just crying out to feature in large blocks like these.

The Y seams were a little tricky, but I wrote a post back in February showing how ...

LeMoyne Star Quilt Finished from Fret Not Yourself

The hope is always here, always alive,
but only your fierce caring can fan it into a fire to warm the world."

~Susan Cooper in Silver on the Tree

Farmhouse Quilt Finished from Fret Not Yourself

"You can't be both awesome and negative.

Choose one."

Evidence indicates I will never have a stash of finished baby quilts. They leave as soon as the the final strings are buried. In the meanwhile, time is passing and the farmhouse quilt will be gifted next month. You may have noticed I'm working to the deadline... as usual.
