Summertime in Australia and the Christmas break is over and the patchwork shops re-open and run Summer School in January. Sometimes a workshop for a day, sometimes over several days for a new pattern. I went to Sue Ambrose's workshop at Somerset Patchwork for a workshop on her new quilt - Sweethearts.
It's hard to believe that I found so many pale, floral, sweet coloured fabrics in my stash but I only needed to buy a couple of light coloured background pieces for the melon shapes' block. The Stars, Flying Geese and 9-patch I machined and the Melons, 1/2Circles, and Button block I hand appliqued.
I'm busy hand quilting my Sue Spargo 2015 BOM quilt, when I finish I'll show you.
Really pretty! I love the soft colours
ReplyDeleteA lovely flimsy. Lots of enjoyable shapes in there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm drawn to lighter fabrics lately. This strippy setting is a great way to try out different blocks. Love what you did!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty, light and luscious quilt! Gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteThe lighter color fabrics make for a summery look. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous top. Love the different columns in this pattern, lovely fabrics.

Such a quiet and peaceful quilt. Love the different blocks and the floral fabric. You did a great job. Congrats! ;^)
ReplyDeleteLovely top, all the pastel fabrics are really popular now.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your Sue Spargo top. I have a quilting friend who stitches her BOM’s and I know how time consuming they are.
That is a beautiful quilt and love the colors, wonderful for a summer quilt.
ReplyDeleteFreezing here, bitter cold.
