I know, I know…it’s been a very long time. My only excuse – apart from the usual competing demands of life and work and everything else – is that I’ve been busy making this… It’s a giant (6 foot square) homemade quilt of the night sky, made using a tear-away pattern from here. The pattern […]
I was asked to make a quilt to commemorate a family reunion of my husband's first cousins on his father's side of the family.

Heidi Chase's Wish Upon. This lap size version with dark background and bright stars captures the vision of a perfectly clear night sky.

We present our second quilt pattern for the Celestial collection. Half the Way is a special quilt pattern because we work with half a traditional block. Even the total layout of the quilt is like half that block. This gives room to show some intricate quilting. A fantastic quilt that you can make using a Layer Cake. We also wrap up our Bauhaus Quilt Along.
