Design Wall Monday–September 10, 2012

Today on my design wall is a quilt that I did NOT make.  It is the raffle quilt for the ECQG guild and I am going to quilt it.  I did make two blocks but can’t remember which ones.  The pattern is by Kim McLean and she graciously gave us permission to use it for our quilt.  I like our colors even better than the original.

We have a quilt show every two years (odd numbered years) and this is one of the highlights of the show.  I hope to get it on the machine later this week.  I am thinking that is needs a small tight fill in the white, and no quilting in the applique.  Of course the stars will get some quilting – still trying to decide what to do in them and what color to use.

We picked out the backing yesterday and it is another Kaffe print.  I am loving this quilt.

For more design walls, go to Patchwork Times.
