Summer Star Flower

Somehow forgot to share this stellar quilt I finished over the summer. This is Star Flower - made especially for baby V, my newest God daughter. Her older siblings also have star themed quilts, though none of them are the same design. I love knowing they each have their own special quilts, but that they also coordinate.

I had a pattern for this ring of stars just waiting to be made into a quilt, so the real fun was pulling prints and colors from my stash. I decided to jazz it up with the extra corner stars and had just enough of the blue for the background!




The swirls set off the ring of stars, and it was a joy to meet baby V and gift this quilt. I know it'll be loved! Here's a peek at the bumblebee too.

(Becky's Version) ...are you ready for it?

A look at my latest quilt which is called (Becky's Version). It's inspired by the Eras Tour and a love of Taylor Swift's music. I knew there had to be a way to mix these two favorite things. Of course I took it with me to snap some pix before watching the concert film!








The fabric colors coordinate to each of her albums, and the number of strips in each color represent the number of songs on that album! To go one layer deeper, in one of the rows, I placed the strips in album release order. Taking notes on how to add easter eggs Taylor-style.



It's quilted with organic lines in the coordinating colors, and I've also quilted the album titles into their respective colors. Spot that bee! ;)




I'm in love with it and am loving jamming out to the vault tracks from 1989 (Taylor's Version) alongside all the other songs!

It's going to be away for a little bit as I have a mini solo exhibit coming up at the National Quilt Museum!! Super thrilling, and this quilt will be in that!
