| Notting Hill Fabric by Joel Dewberry purchased here. |
I love the combination of brights and soft shades in this line.
I had some experimental fun basing the quilting on an idea from Crazy Mom's Quilts Honeycomb pattern. I tried matching her settings but mine came up as a wave rather than a honeycomb pattern and I went with that. The overall finish is a little lumpy. I wouldn't use this again on a large quilt but it is great for smaller projects as you can see on Amanda Jean's post. I have a need to keep experimenting until the day I sew my masterpiece!! :o)
The backing is a lemony yellow Denyse Schmidt dotted fabric from Joann's.
I've just begun a quilt/wallhanging for my daughter. It won't include any Kona Cotton White. I know......don't fall off your chair!
I'm using a paper piecing pattern from Freshly Pieced called Cartwheels and Kona Ash for the background fabric.
February Finishes
See you soon!

Great finishes for February. I love the notting hill line - so I love your quilt :-)
What a lovely quilt!
I would count it as a finish too. It's beautiful.
Gorgeous! :0)
Beautiful February finishes, you did well.
So very pretty. I will have to keep my eye out for that line.
stunning! I tried out the honeycomb quilting on a mug rug last night. I have the exact same machine as she does & was able to use her exact settings. it worked great on a tiny quilt...
Impressive February, Deborah! I just purchased some of the DS yellow dot last week!
So impressive! I love those Greek crosses. Everything is just so beautiful!
I adore Notting Hill. It is on my wish list, I really like the colour combos. Your quilt is lovely - awesome feb finishes!
this looks amazing!!!! kudos to you for using it so quickly! I buy and then it sits.. hahah
I DID almost fall off my chair! :-) The Kona Ash looks great with that red and that pattern.
Great work on that wave - that's making lemons out of lemonade. I have such a tough time trying to do anything repetitive design consistently with quilting. I usually end up ripping it out and reverting to a simple stipple.
Okay. It's settled. I HAVE to get some Notting Hill! That is sooo beautiful! :) Love the cartwheels, too!
So very, very pretty!!
Well done on your February Finish, I love the checks on the fabrics.
February was great month! I love that cushion!
What a fabulous month! That quilt is gorgeous, I love that fabric line and the cartwheels block is brilliant! X
Your February finishes are beautiful!! I love the Greek cross design and I have always wanted some of the Notting Hill line - a perfect combination. I love that bolster cushion on the bed - just stunning.
Your new quilt is beautiful! I like the idea for your new one too....the Kona Ash is a lovely shade.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

I absolutely love that quilt pattern you're using -- what a great mix of shapes and gorgeous fabric. And a beautiful mosaic too, Deborah! :)
Your crosses are gorgeous! Like the red, pale green, turquoise colors together.
