I previously made a Boundless Hydrangea wall hanging (hubby made the shelf), so I wanted to make a matching bed quilt. This is a pinwheel quilt, and so easy to make with one layered cake of prints, and one layered cake in solid. The inner border is a solid white, and the outer border is in the Hydrangea collection. UPDATE: 4/17/18 Quilting is finished, and was done in a vine pattern. So happy with the results!

Update: 12/7/21 My quilting is finished! I did decide to put a border on this quilt in a pink and white tiny floral print. I chose Clematis for the quilt pattern, with white thread. Very happy to be done with this quilt after almost one year! (Another star quilt! I have been working on this quilt top since December 2020. My hubby and daughter gave me two layered cakes for Christmas. The collection is called “Spring Fling” by Wilmington. I chose this pattern after viewing Jenny’s tutorial. It starts out as an Hour Glass pattern, then with additional cutting and sewing, you end up with the Disappearing Hour Glass. It is six blocks across, and seven blocks down. Each block size is 10.5” squared.)

I started my Sundrops (by Corey Yoder, for Moda) in the Magic Diamonds pattern so long ago! I worked on the individual squares on and off for about 3 years now, putting them away, making another quilt, then taking them out again. I "finally" finished this project. Since I did not have enough squares to make at least a twin size quilt, I went with a table topper. The backing and the binding is done in the strawberry print from the collection. I did a simple loop pattern for the quilting. It looks great with my "fall silk flower" arrangement. I have to update my silk flowers suitable for summer!

(6/28/22, I just picked this quilt up from my quilt shop, who did the quilting for me. The quilt pattern has butterflies, dragonflies, bees, and daisies in it. I went with a teal thread for the quilting. So glad to be done with this quilt! )For a couple of years, I had a 24 piece fat quarter bundle in Flit and Bloom by Riley Blake. I decided to use the Disappearing Nine Patch pattern. The inner border is white, and the outer boarder is a teal and white paisley print. Since this collection is OOP, I had to search for a teal and white print (the paisley) that would blend in with all the other prints. There wasn't many options out there to choose from! (in the picture, the paisley print looks navy, but is a teal color)

**Update: 1-29-22 Quilting is done! The quilting design is called “Whirls”, done in a dark green thread. So happy with the results! **This is only my second batiks quilt. (First one, went to my Grandson) I choose Confection Bitiks, by Kate Spain. I love star quilts, so I decided to make the Sawtooth Star. It was so fun to make, and the blocks made up quickly. I made 20 squares total. They are 19.5” squared. They are layed out, 4 squares across, and 5 down. To make this quilt, I purchased one layered cake, and two jelly rolls. For the backing, I choose Moda Grunge, “Pool”. It is an aqua color, with a lime green in it. Matches the collection nicely. 10-11-21
