Twilight

/ quiltinggail

Claudia asked if I would be interested in participating in her blog hop featuring her Island Batik signature collection. I love the blues and golds … it’s such a pretty collection! I paired it with Eggwhite, an Island Batik foundation that is available year round.

When I ordered fabric from her, I ordered what EQ8 said I needed. I should know better! It was way more than I needed!! So, out of guilt, I ended up making 3 quilts!

This first one was designed in EQ8 and is paper pieced. I like how the centre blocks go every which way. It measures 51″ x 63.5″

This was quilted with Silly Moon’s Drop 3 and Drop 1 rulers.

This 2nd one was cut with similar measurements in the squares. And they were all cut the same. It didn’t matter which way I oriented the blocks, the centre block looks like it is always in the same orientation. This quilt measures 52″ x 52″.

This one was free motion quilted, attempting to quilt daisies – like in some of the fabrics!

One of the fabrics reminded me of a giraffe. Of course, giraffes do not have blue spots, but I thought it would make a cute quilt. The grass and sky were from my Island Batik stash. The cloud is eggwhite. This quilt is 43″ x 47.”

I won binding chicken when I was binding this quilt!

And here’s a picture of all 3 quilts hanging on the clothesline:

  5. I love how you took lemons ( way too much fabric) and made lemonade (three quilts)! They are fun quilts and I love the giraffes. I think the fabric was perfect for them. Great job on using up the fabrics in a good way and the quilting looks good too!
