I almost never buy quilt books or patterns but I liked the designs I saw in Living Large 2 so I asked for it for Christmas last year. I finally got started on one of the quilts.
I’m making the cover quilt Spaghetti Junction. I bought a blogger bundle of fat quarters called Luna Landing from Pink Castle fabrics. Yep, I’m using a purchased pattern and fat quarters bought just for this quilt which I am going to keep. It is weird for me.
So far I have this:
I’m making it as a leader – ender project so I can be working on multiple quilts at once.
This bunch of blocks:
Has become this:
This top is going to be heading off to be quilted and then will be donated through Quilts of Valor. I’m coordinating a project to get 25 quilts donated for a retreat for veterans with PTSD in the spring. If anyone is interested in helping out, let me know.
Love the one you’re sending to Quilts of Valor! All of those red lines look really neat together.
Really beautiful work!
oh this is REALLY interesting! I like it alot! Thanks for linking up to wip Wednesday this week where I’ve enjoyed guest-hosting!
I think that pattern is great, can’t wait to see the progress. The Valor came out very nice also.
Love that news print fabric! I’ve recently come to accept that as a quilter I am much better at following other peoples patterns than making my own. Oh well, just means I need to buy more quilting books!
Love the fabric bundle you chose! That quilt is fantastic too, great colours 🙂
I love both your projects. Red and gray is such a striking combination! I like your profile. The first three don’t apply to me but the rest do. It made me think how I would describe myself in a few words!
I really like the pink/red and gray quilt, especially that border fabric. It’s my goal to do a Quilt of Valor this year, so I better get cracking.
What incredible projects! My favorite is the red and gray…just yummy!
