after glow

There is new fabric in the shop!

Afterglow from Dear Stella

These are some of the fabrics that I have.  See that fuscia chevron - got it. See the blue paisley - got that too.  And the medallion fabric.  All rich and beautiful colors!

Here is the inspiration board from Dear Stella.  Aren't the colors amazing and fun!  What are you going to make?

I have been working on a new quilt, and I am addicted to it! 

I even added a new board to my Pinterest, Single Girl. (big surprise :)

My new friend Amy made this one using Kaffe Fasset fabrics and his shot cotton.  Gorgeous!  She has been the one to inspire me to make one of my very own.

I am using these fabrics from Dear Stella, Bukhara.  I won them online and am finally using them!  I pulled mostly other pinks, funky greens, and yellows to go with them.

I am also paper piecing my pattern instead of cutting out all of the squares and sewing them.  I really like doing the circle this way, and I think I am going faster than if I were doing it like I'm supposed to.  There are a couple of online tutorials of how to make it this way.  Denyse Schmidt also has a quilting template in her pattern that is perfect.

I hope this inspires you to make this quilt.  Let me know if you do.  I am having fun sewing mine!
