Today is the day I finally get to share a quilt I have been keeping a secret for a really long time! It is called Pretty Gemstones and you can find it in the soon to be released January/February 2016 issue of McCall's Quilting.
Quite a few of my favorite scraps went into this quilt. I love how they look with the Robert Kaufman Essex Yarn Dyed fabric for the background.

This quilt reminds me of a jeweler's display of colored gemstone rings. So many yummy colors, it is hard to pick a favorite!
