New Pattern - Strike A Chord Quilt from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee

Introducing - Strike A Chord, published by Black Cat Creations.

For this design, it started with a bundle of Tim Holtz Fabric, Abandoned 2 by Free Spirit. All my favorite elements had to be included .... something geometric, stars and plus blocks. The background is a Moda Grunge.

I made several test blocks and played with settings; both on point and horizontal, each using just 12 blocks. I just couldn't decide on the setting, so I wrote the pattern for both.

The horizontal version uses a line from Art Gallery Fabrics, "Kismet" by Sharon Holland.

The Daydreamer collection has some really stunning prints, including one called Lucy!

The Little Fluffy Clouds print is a beautiful ombre, from yellow to green to blue - you get a better sense of it in this picture from the Free Spirit website ...

I do love surprises... and happy mail... and quilt making (especially for a good cause)!

For this months Aurifil Artisan challenge we were sent five fat quarters of Kaffe Fassett fabric to use in a project.

I knew I was going to make a quilt. I don't use red prints very often and spent a while auditioning fabrics to go with the bundle. Initially I pulled pinks and oranges, other warm tones because that's my vibe. It all looked too samey though and the Kaffe prints didn't stand out enough. So then I pulled a whole rainbow ...
