Spinning Wheels

As promised I have some more sneak peeks to a quilt I call spinning wheels.  It was made using Amy Butler Soul Blossoms fabrics and is a bright fresh and fun quilt. 

 

The lovely Sarah Fraser of Patchworks Plus quilted this quilt in circles of various sizes and it has come up a treat!  Love it!

Stay tuned for pattern releases :)

Busy Sewing

I have been trying really hard to get a few finishes done this week because my work in progress pile seems to be growing and growing. 

Lucky for me the backing and border fabric for the above quilt arrived this week (Sorry I only have a sneek peek of this quilt at the moment as the pattern is in the making).

What do you think of the backing?  I really wanted to use up some scraps from the front of the quilt.  

Now I just have to get some wadding and then it is off to the quilter for this baby.

The fabrics in this quilt are from Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms range.

Playing with Soul Blossoms

How beautiful is the new Amy Butler Soul Blossoms range of fabrics?!  I have to admit when I first saw the range on the computer I really wasn't taken with it.  Sometimes the computer images really just don't do the fabrics justice and you need to see them in person!  With that said, when I did see the range in person I fell in LOVE.

The designs are so bright and fun (with no white/ light prints) and the range is perfect for a jellyroll quilt design I have been thinking of for some time, but haven't made yet. 

Please note that the jellyroll only has 33 strips rather that 40 like Moda jellyrolls but this is plenty for what I have planned ;p
