2 New Quilt Swirls and a New Start!!
Well, it's Wednesday, and I have made some serious progress from the last time I shared ;) I have completed quilt tops in quilt swirls that are just waiting to be quilted, yippee!!!
First off, I took all of those beautiful Triangle Wedges from the Sagewood Fabrics by Crystal Manning and they came together just so pretty!!! I can't wait to get this one quilted, It just turned out so chic in these rich colors!! I get to share the finish mid next month so you don't have to wait to much longer (and I better get it quilted asap :) but while you wait, you can see a hint here :)
And with that all done . . . It is time to start on a new Project . . . and the next one in line just so happens to be another Happy Quilting Pattern!!! And guess what, it is using Crystal Manning fabric again!! Told ya, she is quickly becoming a favorite ;) I mean, how could I not just fall in love with these gorgeous colors, especially those deep purples, so great!!! This is Parlor and it will be releasing in September, so it gives me a bit of time to work on this. But I hope to have the pattern finished early summer. so we will see how it goes ;) Again, do you want one more sneak peek??

Special Delivery Quilt!!
Towards the end of last year, I started a fun new gig with my good friends at Riley Blake Designs!! I am getting to test some of their up and coming Patterns!! Sometimes they are for kits, they often use the panels in a line, and they are always super fun, and so far, super fast as well, double bonus!!!
And then they take gorgeous pictures of the finished quilt!!! Yes, I so wish I could say these are my stunning pics, but alas, I am not that good with my camera. But it sure is fun to see the quilt I made in such a pretty setting and lighting. Just amazing :)
And you know, I have already made lots more of these "tester quilts" over the last few months ;) I will share them all as the fabric is released. I can't wait to see all of the pretty pics the amazing team at Riley Blake takes!!
So now I am curious?? Do you like working with panels in your quilts?? I just love how fast they whip up such pretty quilts!!! What are your thoughts on panels??
