Forget Me Not Quilt

 

 

I present to you: My version of the Forget Me Not Quilt top designed by Erin and Sarah of Quilts For Good. 

 

 

The Forget Me Not has been my favorite flower for as long as I can remember. When spring and summer comes these beautiful blue flowers grow like weeds in my garden. The flowers may be tiny, but if you look closely they are lovely works of art.

 

 I long to see flowers like these in my garden, soon!

 

The quilt is constructed as a pixel quilt. The above picture shows the construction process of one of the blocks. The smallest pieces are cut 2" square for the quilt size I chose to make. Finished size for the block is 12" square.

The different blues I used are high quality batiks from Island Batik, these are remnants from my two year period as an ambassador for the company.

 

The finished quilt top is 48.5" x 66.5". It was a joy to piece the top together. The pattern is very well written, and it is to be released March 19th. 

Keep on quilting!

Batik Stripes

Here is the latest table runner I have made, from a tutorial by Diary of a Quilter. I used batik stripes that made a colorful runner. The evening sun makes the colors glow, and it looks great with the blooming apple tree as background. It is amazing how fast the sky turned completely blue after a heavy rainfall!

The runner stretched out on my deck, accompanied by a few apple blossom petals.

Keep on quilting!
