Last week I started putting the blocks of Fanfare together...
and it didn't take long before I had this quilt completed!
I really love how this block comes together! And I am so happy that
I used my DS fabrics from my stash!
I would make this again.. and make it larger!
Last week...
At our local guild we had a guest speaker that included a trunk show!
When I saw this one... I knew it would be an inspiration for
bed covers for my two grand daughters!
I'm about to investigate finding a pattern...
which would be best case scenario!
But, in case I can't
I need to start pulling the large flower ideas together.
I want to add a few little butterflies also.
Evie gave it her approval when she saw the photo.
Elsea can't talk yet but I think she'll like it.
I have been meaning to share the Christmas project that the
girls at Moda pulled together with a little help from some of
us out here in blogville...
They called it the Office Pillow Project!
You can go take a look, or a second look at the Cutting Table blog.
Here is my test block... and it's one that didn't make it into the mini.
The stripes made me always think "yikes" when I looked at it.
So, you won't see that one in the final group.
This is from a Fig Tree pattern: Mini Sunshine
This one is called Down South by She Quilts A Lot aka Peta Peace.
This is how the group of minis came together...
all the small tops were made into pillows!
Aren't they perfectly sweet?!
8 friends stopped by to chat:
I love your Fanfare! I have the pattern on my to-make list, I just need to decide what fabric to use for it. I originally saw your pillows in the Moda blog post. I think I need to make some pillows - so useful and a good way to try a new block.
I love your Mahalo quilt!
Did you use curved piecing or applique'?
Gorgeous!
Love your Mahalo quilt with DS fabrics!
And your red and white pillows are so fun I need to make some.
Such fun quilts! I love your idea for the girls....i'm sure they'll love all the flowers and additional butterflies :)
I LOVE reading your blog and following all the Moda girls but lets face it...way too much eye candy!!! LOL Makes me dizzy and Crazy that I can't keep up!

Those nine blocks together look great. I can't wait to see the blooming flowers quilts. They will be perfect.
I thnk I am in pillow love with those stunning reds and whites.
Where does one find the Fanfare quilt pattern? Love your quilt!
You've been busy, that all look great, I thought of candy canes when I saw the striped block.
Love that floral one, can't wait to see your twist to the design.
