i'm sooooooo close to being done this quilt! I finally got all the hand appliquéd elements on last night (there's like 54 or something haha). I'm just waiting on some hand quilting thread & I need to piece the backing & then I'll be practically done.

and in the distance, I saw / proud, solemn/fern-wild

I’m gonna do nine patches and bordered squares and put them on point.

I saw a photo of something similar in creams and reds a long time ago and took a screen shot of it, and saw it while I was scrolling through my ‘Quilts to Make’ file. Decided to pull these out and give it a go.

No idea what size it’ll end up, but if I stick to 6x7 blocks with a border it should end up about 64”x72” I think. Which is a nice throw size to cuddle on the couch with.

Of course…

Not enough to make bigger, I think more contrast between the two fabrics would look even better, but this will make a lovely couch quilt!

She ended up 70”x85”, which is a pretty nice twin if a bit short, but it would also layout on a queen with little overhang if someone was looking for a display kind of quilt.

I have a dark teal cotton in mind for backing and Robin’s Egg blue for the quilting thread, which is basically the same colour as the light blue fabric.

Had to continue the space theme with the quilting. Pattern is called Interstellar and I did use Robin’s Egg thread on the top and a medium light grey on the back so you could see the stars and swirls on the backing.

I did end up using the constellation fabric for the binding and love the way it looks against the border.
