This was really enjoyable to quilt. I quilted it using Aurifil 50wt in a pale blue (5006), which matches the lighter blue in the jewel fabric really nicely, and blends beautifully into the quilt top. I quilted each of the squares with straight(ish) lines, and left the story squares unquilted.
When I pressed this one I pressed all my seams toward the story squares (which really helped me match up all those seams). This, combined with leaving them unquilted, means they really pop out from the quilt.
Simple pieced back using the same background fabric as the top, plus some Michael Miller fabric I had in my stash (Bloomies by Pillow and Maxfield I think?).
Bound using the same Lizzy House stripe as the story lines in the quilt top.
Design - from Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr's 'Modern Quilt Workshop' book (Once Upon a Time)
Size - 40" x 60"
Pieced and quilted using Aurifil 50wt cotton mako thread.
Fabric - Lizzy House jewels in candy green, various novelty prints for the story squares, Lizzy House stripe for binding and story lines.
Hope everyone is having a great week!
xx Jess

Very neat! The quilting really sets this one apart. And I love how the fussy cut squares just pop.
Fabulous quilt! Love the quilting
This quilt is so fun and, while very orderly, is also kinda unexpected.
Great quilting choices, too - it brings out the randomness amongst the neat rows. Love it!
Its a great quilt Jess! It will bring a lot of joy to the recipient!
Great quilt Jess. I think the comment no 8 is a hoot and perhaps we should all encorporate polished concrete into our quilts! Di x
