Lightning Strike from Wendy's Quilts and More

Each year in January I like to start a new Kaffe Fassett quilt. This year I chose Lightning Strike from Quilts on an English Farm.

When I made Kaffe quilts I like to take inspiration from the books, and use fabrics that I already have in my stash. I love mixing up older prints with the new ones.

This pattern is just giant half square triangles but the placement gives the quilt real movement.

I love a soft, hand quilted quilt with wool batting and that's what I've done here. I quilted the whole quilt with a variegated ...

The non retirement quilt from Wendy's Quilts and More

I'm squeezing in one more finish before the end of the year and then my next blog post will be my annual wrap up.

This quilt was designed and made for friend and work colleague. We gave it to her this week and she was thrilled.

It possibly looks a bit washed out in these photos but it's bright!!

It's all 6" finished half square triangles but the placement works so well with these strong colours.

I had this one long arm quilted at Busy Bee Quilt shop in Wellington. The backing is a Kaffe Fassett wideback ...

Crazy from Wendy's Quilts and More

And I have another finish to share with you. I'm calling this one "Crazy" because it sends your eyes a bit crazy as you try to pick out the pattern. However, I chose a very clever motif for the long arm quilting and that may help you to see the blocks. (Garden Trellis 4 by House of Creations)

I purchased this Kaffe Fassett Marquee Stripe fabric at one of our guild sales days and I didn't have a lot to play with. this is all of the blocks I could make from what I had. And it's ...

Crazy Cutting Corners from Wendy's Quilts and More

I'm back!

I haven't been away, but I've been super busy with work, cricket admin and quilt guild admin. I've hardly had any time for sewing lately, but I decided to fix that this week and I finally made time to pick up my rotary cutter.

I'd been thinking about using some of my Kaffe Fassett stripes so I browsed through some of my older Kaffe books and came upon this pattern from Kaffe Quilts Again (2012):

I only had the Marquee fabric in the lighter shades so mine looked like this:

some diamonds ...

Stone Flower from Wendy's Quilts and More

Hello!! I'm back and I've got a finished top to show you.

I'm calling it Stone Flower because the fabric in the centre is the Stone Flower wide back by Kaffe Fassett Collective. Here's how it evolved over a short period of time back in April 2023.

mixed in with Cactus Flower in blue

I took elements of the Blue Square Dance pattern from Kaffe's Quilts in the Cotswolds book and used them to expand on my fussy cut Stone Flower centre piece. But I stopped when I ...
