Classic Elegance

Classic Elegance
You just can't go wrong pairing classic black and white, and this quilt is a fine example.


Simple monochrome prints along with a white on white floral fabric make this design so definitive. I absolutely love the 12” Spinning Star die by Blue Wren Dies in Australia.


The backing is an adorable cat print. I quilted with light gray thread on top and white in the bobbin, using the Creative Grids Elvira ruler. Those gray serpentine lines make the stars really look like they're moving air.



Classic Elegance finished out at 54” square after I added borders.


There's no time to waste around here, Between my fabulous fabric acquisition and three more new dies, my head is spinning with new ideas. Stay tuned.


Blue Wren Dies:
6358  Spinning Star 12"
6720 Magic Strips (border)


I'm never bored.
There are too many
interesting,
creative,
relaxing,
fun,
exciting,
and satisfying
things to do!
