Finished Quilts in 2019

Welcome to a kitchen sink style post showcasing my finishes for 2019! Ok, from most recent to oldest, here are the quilts I finished in 2019. (Resolved: will do a better job sharing finishes on blog in 2020!)

Stargazer

My most recent finish is Stargazer. I just finished this off this week using this machine binding tutorial (Block of the Month Members you’ll see the video lesson on machine binding within the BOM workshop!).

It’s a beast sized quilt perfect for my bed! We’ll see if my son notices it’s not on his bed as promised. Ha!

Stargazer Details:

• Size: 80″ x 80
• Pattern: Stargazer BOM using triangles from my book, Modern Triangle Quilts
• Quilting: Crosshatch (I love crosshatch!)
• Who’s getting this baby? I had intended this quilt for my son… but it looks so great on my bed! Ha! We’ll see if he notices…

Murmuration

The next few quilts I made for my exhibit in Nadelvelt in Karlsruhe, Germany in May. I’ve been wanting to explore translating watercolor paintings to quilts for years. So I’ve been very happy to get to play with color and quilts!

Murmuration, Color Hex, and Tie Dye Courthouse were all designed using watercolor. So fun!

This first one is Murmuration, which I pieced using improvisational foundation piecing using loads of blue/blue green solids.

Murmuration Details

• Size: 62” x 72”
• Workshop – Murmuration (find it as part of the Playful Color Quilt Guild) or hire me for 2021
• Quilting – Clusters of circles, quilted by me, on my long arm

Color Hex

Choosing this many colors that go together can be a real chore! I used watercolor to help guide my color choices.

Color Hex Details

• Size: 62” x 72”
• Pattern – Color Hex (coming in 2020 to the Playful Color Quilt Guild and probably the Triangle Lovers Membership ’cause Triangles!)
• Quilting – Clusters of circles, quilted by me, on my long arm

Tie Dye Courthouse

Breaking the traditional quilt grid with color is one of my favorite tricks. It’s fun and surprising and oh so colorful!

Tie Dye Courthouse Details

• Size: 62” x 72”
• Workshop – Tie Dye Courthouse (coming January and find it as part of the Playful Color Quilt Guild) or hire me for 2021
• Quilting – straightish lines done on my longarm

Rainbow Triangles

My first block of the month quilt has a special place in my heart. It combines my two loves – rainbows and triangles. And you know what? I used a watercolor painting to help guide my fabric selection for this one as well.

Rainbow Triangles Details

• Size: 72” x 72”
• Workshop – Rainbow Triangles BOM using triangles from my book, Modern Triangle Quilts
• Quilting – custom geometric stylings on my longarm
