"Fleurs Pastelles"


It's been awhile since I posted but I thought I would update everyone on my latest venture. My quilt, "Fleurs Pastelles" has been featured in Kathy Delaney's new book, "Pots de Fleurs." I also have a punchneedle featured in the book. Kathy's quilt was done with a dark background and I decided to do mine in pastels. The fabric in my quilt is all by Robyn Pandolph when she designed for Moda. The quilt is currently on display at Prairie Point Quilt Shop in Shawnee, Kansas.

I used Kathy's patterns but changed a couple of the blocks, using dimensional techniques such as yo-yos for the centers of the flowers, folded buds, etc. It was a lot of fun making this quilt and I thank Kathy for the opportunity to appear in her book.
