Dancing Shadows is a quilt designed by Brenda @ Songbird Designs.
In January 2024, my Island Batik box contained a strip pack of Lavandin (designed by Claudia Pfeil) along with 2 yards of Milkshake (neutral) and Turtle (green). However, in my Island Batik strip pack container, the Lavandin was paired with Oatmeal (a very light yellow) and the Turtle. I went with it!
This quilt was easy and quick to piece together. The directions are fantastic! You can get the pattern from Brenda @ Songbird Designs. HERE.
Here is the finished quilt. I used Oatmeal for the light shadows and the binding!
And a close up of the free motion quilting. It’s an all over 3 finger open loop with echoing.

Its a lovely quilt! And the name is perfect, it makes me think of these lazy afternoons, as the sun starts to sink behind the trees and the backyard becomes a pleasant place to sit (except for the mosquitoes.)

I had to laugh because the oatmeal strips look like coping strips but are obviously needed for the overall design. Your quilt turned out great.

Thanks! I guess in some ways, the oatmeal strips are coping … but it’s all part of the pattern!
