Flying Colors

I am very excited to share my quilt Flying Colors which is published in the October issue of American Patchwork & Quilting!

The flying geese block is my all time favorite block!

It was fun to play with Moda Ombre Bloom and Moda Bleached White fabric (affiliate link) to create a fun visual. (Moda Fabrics supplied the fabric.)  The center geese block was cut from the center of the ombre fabric and each subsequent block was cut from lighter and lighter parts of the ombre transition.  


I used my walking foot to quilt diagonal lines running across the quilt to add to the movement.  Since this quilt was for a publish (and not to be thrown on my couch!), I took my time and marked each line with a hera marker before sewing. (affiliate link)

Binding fabric was debated for awhile - I am very happy with the white binding, a first for me!

The October issues goes on sale August 7.  It has a great fall pumpkin quilt on the cover!

  12. Very striking! And congrats on the publication! I need to find a way to read American Patchwork & Quilting. I could read it through Zinio/RBDigital app from my public library, but not any more. I miss it!
