I have a little show and tell today!
It's called Bird Seed.
It's called Bird Seed.
I finished a project that had been pushed aside.
I had been wanting to make an Orange Peel quilt for
quite some time.
And I am so glad I made this one that combines
Flying Geese with the Orange Peels!
(did you notice Lottie, the cat, sitting on the rocks in the photo above)
It was super fun to make and I used fabric
that I had been "aging to perfection" in my stash.
I actually had to looked back in my blog to see when I started it.
This was a photo of my progress in June.
Here is a photo of the actual pattern.
It is a free pattern by Tula Pink on the Bernina web site.
I believe it was in German... but just needed to be translated.
I love her colors and how the grays are on the bottom of the
quilt.
But I think that I will be finishing it and gifting it to my
son Tauren and his soon to be bride Heather for their wedding
in April. So, I kept my version lighter.
I will mention that they like Fall colors...
so maybe
this is
the beginning
of Autumn ???
18 friends stopped by to chat:
Beautiful quilt, Sinta...love the colors. This will make a great wedding quilt. (I guess it won't be a surprise?)
This is spectacular! I'm tempted to make one too!
What a wonderful quilt! It looks like it would be a lot of fun to sew. Lottie likes it too =^.^=
GORGEOUS SINTA !!!!
What a special wedding gift you have made for them :-D
Very, very cool quilt! Love it!!
Most definitely a striking quilt.
Beautiful quilt! And it's always nice when you have the perfectly aged fabric on hand! It will be a wonderful wedding gift.
Beautiful, as always Sinta!!!!

It's a beautiful quilt! I'm sure your son and his bride will love it:-)
I LOVE this quilt Sinta, Your choice of colors are perfect, what a lucky couple! What a great free pattern, thanks for the tip.
Sinta, this quilt is absolutely gorgeous! The colors that you used, and the placement of the colors is perfect- it couldn't be better.I'm sure your son and his bride will love it!
I saw this quilt made up in a quilt store while visiting Las Vegas and I had to immediately buy the Tula Pink fabric and download the pattern. I'm not so great at picking different fabric for a quilt when it's shown as a sample. I just don't have the confidence that I'll like the quilt as much. I love your fabric choices. Your quilt is just as beautiful.
Wonderful job Sinta and bet you are pleased to have finished these peels. There is such a great feeling when a top comes together and what a great wedding present this is going to be....;)))
Just love this quilt! Such great color choices! Great start to 2016 :)
Love your quilt! I have been wanting make an orange peel quilt too. I love how you combined the flying geese pattern with it. Really lovely!

That's lovely and I bet your son and almost DIL will love it. I too am making an orange peel quilt at the moment - great minds obviously think alike.
Great quilt! I love the orange peel design, so classic.
