Forget Me Not from Sew Preeti Quilts

Say hello to Forget Me Not.

Forget Me Not

Forget me Not is a modern interpretation of an Irish Chain Quilt. Designed in EQ8 and made with Island Batik Fabrics, Forget Me Not was published in Quilters World Spring 2026 Issue.

The issue focuses on "Modern Quilts with Classic Roots" and I am thrilled to be a part of it.

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.

Blush from Sew Preeti Quilts

Have you seen my Blush?

Paul the model

I made the flimsy as a part of the Pantone Color Quilt Challenge which included three categories - mini quilt, not a mini quilt, and flimsy. The extremely limited guidelines are a double-edge sword. As participants we can make anything we want - no limits to creativity. Since we don't know the judging criteria we cannot make a quilt to win the challenge.

All the peaches

I chose to participate because I had plenty of gorgeous peachy goodness in my stash. I was in between projects. But most importantly, I wanted to play ...

Sweet Dreams from Sew Preeti Quilts

In summer I dream of a chilly breeze.
In winter I dream of a fire.
At land I yearn for the stormy seas.
Once there it is dry land that I desire.

It is no surprise that I made an Autumn Quilt in Spring :-) Meet Sweet Dreams.

Soha and Frogkisser from Sew Preeti Quilts

Me: I avoid cleaning and organizing.
Paul: Of course, I clean only when it is absolutely essential.
Me: I am glad you agree.
Paul: Let sleeping critters lie
Me: Exactly. When I do clean/organize, I get attacked by squirrels.

At this moment, Paul lost the thread of conversation.

In anticipation of the second shipment of Island Batik Ambassador boxes, I had to clean house, get rid of some scraps and make room for the new supplies.

In doing so, I came across some star blocks, that date back to 2015, I think. Who knows? It was so long ago ...
