Harmony II

When I was deciding the best use of my Harmony bundle I narrowed it down to two patterns.   The first pattern was Halloween Blooms, see my last blog post for pics of that quilt.

The second pattern was Tansy by Corey Yoder for Coriander Quilts.

(Available here)

It took some time cutting the fabric using the scraps I had leftover from Halloween Blooms.

But I had just enough.

This is Lifetime Quilt Number 226

The pattern is Tansy by Corey Yoder for Coriander Quilts

The fabric is Harmony by Sweetwater for Moda

It finished at 61" x 61"

It has approximately 552 pieces.

I love both quilts and am so happy I was able to piece two great quilts using that one bundle of fabric.   I loved the colors and feeling of Harmony and am sad I've used it up.   I'm gong to have to work hard to find a project that I enjoy as much as these last two.

Sundrops

Do you remember my Shower Shuffle quilt? (LQ#122)  I made 16 different blocks using half square triangle units.  And this block was my favorite block.

So when the Fat Quarter Shop promoted their free pattern, Star Cakes, made entirely out of my favorite block, I added that pattern to my To Do list while I waited for the perfect fabric.

I did't have to wait long, 

I used Sundrops by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts for  Moda.

I did add a few additional prints from my stash.

I love Sundrops, the colors and the prints.  Corey has already posted a sneak peek of her next line called Lulu Lane and it looks very similar but with a couple new colors, I think the two families will make a great combo, I need to get more Sundrops, and so do you, before it's all gone!  It should be in your favorite shop now.

This is Lifetime Quilt Number 175

It finished at 57" x 57"

The pattern is Star Cakes, a free pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop

The fabric is Sundrops by Corey Yoder for Coriander Quilts by Moda

This quilt has approximately 531 pieces.

The pattern was very simple, the fabric nothing but fun, what a wonderful time I had making this quilt.
