I fell in love with this quilt when Carrie brought hers for show and tell in Illinois last fall. I was so stricken by the soft floral beauty of this quilt that I knew I had to make one, just like Carrie's.
I laid in a supply of Luna Notte and waited for the pattern release. As soon as I saw it available on the Fat Quarter Shop's website, I bought a copy of my very own.
When Thelma proposed the idea of a sew-along, I had to jump right in! Well, that, and the horrible demise of the project I had started one week earlier using Pom Pom de Paris (but I can't talk about that right now, I'm still in mourning over miscut flying geese...)
I love Ohio Star blocks, and this quilt has 2 sizes. My pieces are all cut out and production has begun on several thousand quarter square triangle blocks. I've misplaced my favorite tool for trimming 3" QSTs - Marsha McCloskey's Precision Trimmer 3. Have torn my sewing room apart. Three times. I tell you - I've got some bad ju ju going on down there. But Eventide seems to be progressing nicely.
Oh no--two quilting mishaps? I dread learning about what happened to Pom Pom de Paris! You may not need your trimming tool. I am finding that these little quarter square triangles are coming out dead on perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh look at you go Lisa !! What a GREAT start !
ReplyDeleteAck! a Pom Pom loss? I feel sick just thinking about it. Good thing this project is looking fantastic. I love your colors.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your version.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good to me, no bad ju ju in sight!! The more I see of that Luna Notte fabric, the better I'm liking it!
ReplyDeleteGreat reovery on Eventide. Your new group of fabrics will of course look stunning. (although Pom Pom sounded beautiful)
ReplyDeleteYour progress is far better than mine! I'm stll waiting for my pattern to come intio the shop! Love the fabric. Sorry about the Pom Pom!
