I’m really excited to share with you a project that I’ve been working on for a collaboration with Justine at Simply Solids. Let me introduce the Sneaky Stars quilt.
I’m really thrilled with how this pattern has turned out. I’ve been working on it for quite a few months so it kind of feels like my baby. It’s a super quick quilt to piece and I really hope that I’ll see versions of it popping up on blogs/flickr when the pattern is released π
Justine will be selling kits for this in time for Festival of Quilts. I’ll update you when the kits go live π This version of the quilt will be available to view on Justine’s stand at Festival of Quilts. For those of you who won’t be there here are a few more pics of it.
I wanted the solids to do all the talking so I did some very simple echo quilting in white and a rather lovely blue, variegated 12wt Aurifil. I wasn’t sure if it would be possible to machine sew with the 12 wt but it went through with no problems π
The improv pieced backing really shows the star quilting up beautifully, even if I do say so myself π
