On the second Saturday of each month the Jinny Beyer club meets at the shop. We have show and tell, help with quilts people are working on, talk of new events and happenings at the shop and usually have an ongoing project throughout the year. The last few meetings I have been showing the progress and asking their opinion on our shop hop quilt. It is a learning experience for all.
I shared part of the design process in an earlier blog, “Design Dilemmas.” The shading of the fabrics, what to use as a background, none of it ended up being what I had originally planned but I’m very happy with the changes I made.
The star is now complete. There is black in the center in the large hexagon and the quilt will be squared off with black as well. I plan to put applique in the center and the corners, using fabrics that will compliment the colors in the quilt.
I will be going on vacation with my husband for a week and plan to finish the applique during that time. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will be able to share the completed top.
Don’t forget that the Quilters’ Quest shop hop is just around the corner. You’ll find details at www.quiltersquest.org.
Will you be making this design available in a kit? I love the quilt and the colors and would love to make it for in our home.
This design will be available as a kit in our shop during the 2015 Quilters’ Quest, more details can be found on the Quilters’ Quest website at http://www.quiltersquest.org/
Jinny, Every Quilt you make is breathtaking!
Wow! That’s gorgeous, Jinny. I clearly don’t have enough of that Carnival border print in my stash. I should remedy that.
