Phagun from Sew Preeti Quilts

Welcome to my stop on the Sunflower Spice Blog Hop.

Phagun, 80" by 100"

When Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations asked whether I would like to join the BlogHop, I did not say yes. I had to see the fabrics, first.

OK, YES.

These vibrant hues cover the entire spectrum of the rainbow. The design had to be simple so that the colors could truly shine.

Starry Seas BlogHop from Sew Preeti Quilts

Welcome to Day 3 of the Starry Seas BlogHop.

Here is my response!

Dawn to Dusk

When Jennifer of Inquiring Quilter asked me to join the Starry Seas BlogHop, I did not respond at once. I needed to see the fabric collection first.

Hmmm, what does that inspire? Let's take another look.

It reminded me of my commute. My new job requires me to leave home before dawn and return after dusk, meaning that I experience sunrise and sunset (especially during these winter months), through the sometimes murky train windows. It is both sad and beautiful.

Dawn

Veronica - Layer Cake Friendly Quilt Pattern from Sew Preeti Quilts

Sometimes, as I am playing in EQ8, shapes will magically align and something extraordinary happens. Such as this pattern - Veronica.

Made with Poetic Bouquet Fabric collection, Veronica finishes at 60" by 84".

Cleverly pieced, it comes together in the most elegant way. All you need is a Layer Cake of your choice plus 4 yards of background fabric. No special rulers or fancy dies.

The detailed directions include colored pictures for every step. The clever piecing means you don't have to fiddle with little pieces. Quick for experienced quilters and easy for beginners, Veronica is a win-win.

The pattern ...

Ambassador's Choice from Sew Preeti Quilts

In the land of Island Batik, March is Ambassador's Choice Month. Mine is Lula May.

EQ8 Design

Lula May

Designed in EQ8, and made with Island Batik's Celebrate Collection, Lula May finished at 62" by 82".

Love this collection!!!

I wanted to step away from square blocks. I designed a rectangular block measuring 12" by 16". The triangle in a square made the basis for the elongated star. The strip pieced alternate block combines the colors used in the stars, using the leftovers and tying the pattern together.

T-shirt Quilt Finish on Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to week 461 of Free Motion Mavericks. I delivered the quilt to my nephew last night at 10:30 so that he could pack it up to bring to Denmark. He lives down the street so it wasn't a long journey. He and his roommate are tall men, so they helped me take a few quick pictures of the quilt. Thanks guys!

FMQ the T-shirt Quilt on Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to week 455 of Free Motion Mavericks. November has brought us snow in Ottawa. It probably won't stay but it is pretty. I guess that it's time to put away the patio furniture! I hope that you're enjoying whatever fall is bringing you.

T-shirt quilt top done on Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to week 450 of Free Motion Mavericks. I've been very busy putting together my niece's t-shirt quilt top and it's now done - only 4 days after my September One Monthly Goal. I'd forgotten how huge a queen size quilt is!

Quilt top finished

Unfortunately when I took this photo this morning, I only had one helper to keep the quilt up. You'll get a better look once it's finished

Avantika from Sew Preeti Quilts

I first made Avantika for the Island Batik catalogue. The working title was Mosaic Stars but once the quilt was completed, it needed a better name. Avantika means princess :-)

Avantika, the original princess :-)

Sunset Backing and Binding

Made using Island Batik Juicy Mosaics fabric collection, Avantika finished at about 64" by 84".

Juicy Mosaics is a beautiful collection and I love every fabric in it.

Of course, we took her out for a photoshoot, thanks to Paul!

Ooh, the reflection!!!

I was so much in love that I chose to make these blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2023.

Window Dressing & Pattern Release from Sew Preeti Quilts

Window Dressing was published in March 2023 in Make Modern Issue #51, in the category of Prints Charming! I smile every time I read that :-)

Made with Ruby Star Society Fabrics (Reverie by Melody Miller) provided by Moda, it is a simple design that exploits the value gradations for maximum effect. Put another way, the Prints Charming did the heavy lifting and I gathered the compliments :-)

Cold Day, Warm Quilt

For some reason, the blog publication of this quilt slipped through the cracks. But here we are now.

Two For One! from Sew Preeti Quilts

I have lots to share today.

Let's start with Positivity Grows! Some of you may have seen this finish on Instagram but here it is for the first time on my blog - the Positivity 2023 Finished Quilt. I have named her Vrinda, which is one of the names of the Holy Basil.

Vrinda

Vrinda is green and glowing.

The blocks are sometimes wonky, but you know that straight is overrated :-D

Happy Pride Month!

Speaking of happiness, I like to celebrate every finish and Paul captured that emotion perfectly.

Mirabelle in Wild Blooms

Can you spot Mirabelle

I used the collection Wild Blooms, which should be available in quilt stores now. It is a gorgeous collection with a complete range of values from light to dark, providing the entire spectrum of shades to create a gorgeous quilt.

I don't say this for every collection but I love every fabric in the Wild Blooms collection!!! I used Wild Blooms to make Mardi Gras Magic and Wednesday. I am sure I will be making more :-)

Rainbow Neighbourhood Houses - Blocks 2 to 4 from Quilting & Learning

I was falling behind on my Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL so I'm now all caught up.

A Mauve House

The second house was finished in the middle of last week. It was easier to make the second time around. Of course the star blocks are all different, so there is a learning curve there.

The mauve house with a blue Friendship star!

For the window details, I added a hanging planter and a bird who is visiting out of his cage. Will he go back in? I found a beautiful mosaic type fabric that looks like stained glass, so that ...
