La Passacaglia Top Finished!

Woo hoo! this was a LOT of hand piecing. I am remiss in my blogging. My La Pass quilt top is complete. Now I need to decide on the backing fabric and get 'er done. Here she is...

      Selwyn, this was a lot of fun even though it took me forever! What fabrics are you going to use? There are so many choices. I might have to make another one someday so I can try a different set of fabrics and a different approach to the pattern.

      Found Valley of the Kings Nefertiti Stripe (in Spice) (http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/SHOP-BY-BRAND/Valley-of-the-Kings/Robert-Kaufman-Fabrics-Valley-of-the-Kings-Spice-Nefertiti-Stripe) to begin with and so far have pulled teals, greens, red, royal blue, gold and natural to coordinate. Will use black for all the bazillion triangles. Wasn't sure about using a metallic...but I have searched and searched and this stripe lends itself to lots of cool fussy cuts without wasting a lot of fabric. We'll see how it goes! Not sure when I'll begin this project...still working on a lot of others!

      I like that fabric very much! I would like to make another one and have all black star points, or whatever color went with the other stuff. Maybe next year! Did you join the Facebook La Pass group yet? You should!

New Large Rosette Underway

Image
After looking at the large rosettes for this project, I decided that one of them did not go well with the others. My black and pink attempt to do an outer flower ring was a little bit blah compared to its three siblings so I ripped off the outer ring in preparation for using this as one of my smaller rosettes in the quilt. Then it was time to find some new Liberty Tana Lawn prints for the large rosette, so I went for the flowers! There are some sailboats and rabbits thrown in there for good measure. The rabbits are the small hexagon in the first ring of stars. Here is the new large rosette in progress. As always, the center of the rosette consists of the little creepy Cranford faces. I think I have just enough of this fabric to use in all of my rosettes, then it will be gone for good. Happy quilting! Susan

Heather Ross Mendocino Quilt, Here I Come!

Image
There is nothing more fun than planning your next quilt! I have been buying the long out of print and hard to find Heather Ross Mendocino fabric for this next quilt, and now it's time to cut and piece everything.  I spent months accumulating fat quarters or more of every print in the set, which was a considerable feat.  Many thanks to everyone who sold me a precious piece from their stash, I really appreciate it. After a lot of thought, I have decided to use Elizabeth Hartmann's Honey Quilt Top pattern from her book Modern Patchwork . She has many versions of this honey quilt top on her blog Oh Fransson! that you can check out, they are wonderful.  I think this pattern will show off the Mendocino fabrics really well since the pieces are not too large and not too small. My next decision is how to put the hexagons for the quilt top together.  Originally, I was thinking by color group (plum, fuchsia, brown, orange, gold, blush, light blue, natural) and shadi...
