This was a joint effort between Sara Anne and myself. She cut the pieces out from a collection of fabric she has (and is ready to move out!). I swapped out whatever was in place of the yellows and added them, sewed it and then quilted. The quilt pattern is a slight variation of Two's Company. I just bought a new edge to edge quilting design and wanted to give it a try. It is called Ginger Snap and was designed by Apricot Moon. I really like how it turned out. See below to notice how it isn't obvious where the rows are. It also doesn't go up and down so there are no blank spaces at the top and the bottom of a quilt.
Overall I did pretty well on my goals this week. I'm close to finishing another UFO and hope to get back to finishing Galaxy. We'll see how it goes.

What a lovely donation quilt. I really like your new quilting design, too. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've seen variations of the pattern before, the big rectangles really allow a fabric to be showcased. Yours looks great.
ReplyDeleteI do like the edge to edge design and I'm going to make a note of it so that perhaps someday I can get it!

That pattern works well with the fabric, and it makes a nice sized donation quilt. Your quilting looks great, too.
