We're in! We will most definitely be at the Houston Quilt Market in October. Now the fun (read stressful) part begins... planning for our little booth. Have come up with a concept and will now have to use some brain cells from my brother to help me engineer the workings. Of course, no affordable decorating plan is complete without a visit to IKEA, too.I've been chatting with a quilt designer lately about working up a technical detail pattern for this Sunshine crib quilt I designed. I would love to have this at the booth and for a free project sheet for you. Any quilters out there? Does this look doable? I'm a conceptualist when it comes to designing quilts, but not very practical. Would love some opinions.
Cool! I'll see you there! Curved and bias piecing kicks the skill level up a bit, but I think this one is doable. Have you seen Dale Fleming's Pieced Curves So Simple technique? That makes curved piecing a snap, even for beginners. I think Ms. Lizzy House has incorporated it into a pattern or two of hers. And with some tweaking it could be worked into this design.

ReplyDeleteI hope this is doable- what a fun design!
ReplyDeleteI am not a quilter... more like you, conceptual but this is great!!
ReplyDeleteDelightful design and definitely do-able!
ReplyDeleteThe biased cut pieces can be tricky in the sense that bias stretches. Extra care just has to be taken when sewing... good pining helps as well.
The circles could be done easily if each one was simply appliqued on top of the sun beams. Bulk could be reduced by cutting away the excess fabric behind each circle.
I particularly like how the yellow and white polka-dot sunbeams run into the matching border/binding area. Very sharp and very sweet!
I have no idea about the technicalities of creating this quilt, but it is simply GORGEOUS! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe design is lovely!!! Lovelyyyyyy!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a professional quilter, only I can say that sew circles is not easy... I think that Victoria is right to propose applique the fabric.
(sorry, my english is very bad....)
i noticed this quilt pattern completed and glorious on your website intro. I love it so much my fingers simply tingle with delightful anticipation to try something similar. As soon as you get those instructions i hope you post them.
ReplyDeleteI love this, too! Do you have a pattern either for free or to purchase? I would love to make it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI came back to your blog to see if you've done anything with this! Such a beautiful, happy quilt. I love seeing it on the front page of your website, but you need to feature the pattern for free or sale!!
ReplyDeleteHey Nicole, thanks for pointing this out again. It got lost in the shuffle. Maybe we will revisit it!
