This
sweet purple quilt makes me want to grab a book and snuggle in for a
while.
Three
lovely prints coordinate nicely with a bright white tone on tone
fabric. I used Blue Wren's 5” Gem Star die for the center blocks,
making all those points and seams easy to match. Amethyst Dreams
finished at 50” square after adding the borders.
I
chose light blue thread for free motion quilting in long rows using a
circle ruler. Then I switched to a straight stitch across the
curves, guided by a straight ruler. It made for a unique design that
I will use again.
I
love experimenting with everything about sewing and quilts, from
color to finishing. My mama started me early, at about age 3, hand
stitching little scraps of material. Even after sixty plus years of
sewing, I still enjoy trying and learning new techniques. Guess I'll
never stop!
