A Big Kaffe Finish

Over the last few months, I have made a concerted effort to try and finish some of the many UFOs I have hidden around my sewing room.




I think I cut the fabrics for this quilt back in early 2016.  This quilt is made using the block pattern I had published in an old Quilty magazine called Letters of Love.  




When I cut the fabric, I wanted to use up some of the stash Kaffe Fassett prints I have collected for decades.  I used prints and shot cottons in fall colors.




I think I planned to use this quilt on my bed but like so many projects that sit around for years, I am not that in love with it.  So I am not really sure what I will do with it.  It is a nice big 80 x 80".




I quilted a large floral quilting pattern on it called Camelia.  The blocks are each 16" square so the big 8" flower works really well.




I even had a big cut of Kaffe Fassett fabric already put away for the backing.




It does look pretty on the nice green grass!

My UFO/project list now stands at 26...it was 23 but my bestie (otherwise known as my "scrap dealer") gave me two giant bags of scraps and three projects were started before I could get them all put away.

I will be sharing more information on those soon!







If you are fan of the Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics, did you notice that Connecting Threads is carrying the new Veggies collection by Martha Negley?  Boy are they lovely!

Letters of Love - A Quilty Publication




I am happy to announce I have another quilt published in the January/February 2015 Issue of Quilty magazine.  Have you picked up your copy yet?











For this quilt, I used Moda's Mirabelle collection by Fig Tree.




I named this quilt Letters of Love.  The actual quilt is still on its way back to me so I only have a photo from this summer to share with you.

Letters of Love









The people at Quilty took this great shot.  If you want to see the other great projects in this issue, you can check them out here.

You can usually order copies of the pattern or the magazine directly from the HeyQuilty website but it looks like they don't have it set up yet.  Hopefully you will be able to find a copy in a store near you!
