Off to the Spa!

I'm sending off two quilts to the 'spa' later today.

The spa is my LAQ!

The first is Summer.  I used a layer cake of Noteworthy for these Lemonye star blocks made with HST.  I just love what snowballing the corners have done to the block.


This quilt finished roughly 70 by 88.  I went without a border on this one.  I choose one of the cream prints from the line for the backing.  This was my design although I found inspiration galore over the internet.

The second quilt is called Middle Sister.  


This was made from a layer cake of Tapestry.  The pattern can be found here - this is the second time I've made this pattern.

I chose backing fabric to be the same as the outer border.  Binding will also be in this fabric.  This is a gift for my sister - although I won't be gifting it for a few months!



Happy Stitching!

  3. Gorgeous LeMoyne star quilt! I think the Noteworthy fabric is the stunner here. Bet you can't wait to get them back from the spa.
