Back in November, the Bernina We All Sew blog hosted a quilt along for Faith Jones' Radiant Splendor Supersized quilt. I wasn't planning on making the quilt right away, but when I visited my friend's quilt shop last month, I saw some Tula Pink prints that would be perfect for it, so I purchased some yardage and got sewing!
I put the last stitches in the binding last weekend and then quickly took photos while the light was sort of good. (Winter is so depressing!)
The Tula Pink prints really were the perfect fit for this quilt. For the background, I went with Kona White and Kona Snow (I actually thought both pieces were white, but after it was all pieced, I realized I also used Snow - oh well!). The binding is Kona Eggplant and it frames the quilt perfectly.
For the quilting, I went with three different designs. I started with some dot to dot quilting in the inner and outer star points.
Some wishbone quilting in the frame around the inner star.
And went with a simpler meander for the background and negative space.
The backing is a light grey print - you can really see the purple thread on the back which is kind of cool.
This will most likely be my last finish and my last blog post before Christmas so let me wish you Happy Holidays. I hope you get to spend some down time, surrounded by those you love.

Merry Christmas, Izzy! This is a beautiful finish and it looks cheerful even against all that snow. I hope you have a lovely holiday with family.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great finish! The colors are perfect in the snow. I really have to train myself to be able to do wishbone and ribbon candy quilting motifs. I can't do them yet, and I love them so much. . . Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish! Merry Christmas to you too!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, my friend! Love this finish and particularly love the wishbone quilting!!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the shot of the back and the quilting. Who knew white and snow are different colors?! :) Great finish!
