Natalia partners with her mom, Kathleen Whiting, also an award winner quilting, for patterns and fabric designs. (See a cute mom / daughter photo on their about us page.) Together they have written five books and you will be inspired by her free motion quilting designs and tutorials. Their two fabric lines - Thrive and Flourish - are just beautiful and coordinate well together.

My goal for October is to get the quilting done on my half-rectangle triangle (HRT) quilt. There are 720 of these HRTs, all made with Moda Sweetwater fabric. The quilt measures 72 x 80.

ReplyDeleteGood luck on quilting the HTR quilt. Are you machine quilting it?
ReplyDeleteI love your HRT top, Patty. I've wanted to make something similar with solid white/print fabric HSTs or pyramids or tumblers for a long time -- just love the simplicity of the design and the way those prints sparkle and dance across the snowy white background. Good luck getting it quilted this month!
