Hello Dear Blogging Friends!
Today's post will be short on words and long on photos! We spent our annual winter quilting weekend (we've lost track but think it was our 18th year) at the Cape. This post contains all the quilt tops and works in progress we made with our favorite Kaffe Fassett collection fabrics.
 |
| My Swoon blocks in progress. They are very large blocks. |
 |
| I finished two and a half blocks. I have five made, four more to go. They are not hard, they just have a LOT of pieces. I purchased this as a block of the month kit several years ago from Waterwheel House Quilt Shop in Vermont. |
 |
| Perhaps the lighting is better in this shot? |

| Pat's amazing Kaffe quilt top. Pat purchased this kit several years ago as a block of the month from an online shop. I call it "border of the month" since it is lots and lots of borders around a beautiful appliqued center medallion. |
 |
| Marion's gorgeous Kaffe scrap quilt top. These were our birthday blocks from a couple of years ago. |
 |
| Cordula's Bowls and Vases quilt top. This was a Kaffe 20th anniversary kit. Cordula and Kim G. have both made this quilt. They bought the kit online. One purchased it from the Missouri Star Quilt Company and one purchased it from Hancock Fabrics. One of the shops was $100 less. It pays to comparison-shop! Apologies again for the bad mood lighting. |

Both quilts in progress below use the same blocks. This is the
Dresden Squared pattern from the Missouri Star Quilt Company that we selected as our group birthday block last year.
 |
| Joan S. squared off her blocks and is auditioning fabric for her centers. |
 |
| Joanne S. left her blocks as circles and appliqued them with a satin stitch. Check out the cool design that the chevron printed fabric makes in the fan blades. Her polka dot fabric is really jazzy! |
 |
| This is Karen's own pattern, Forever Yours. You can find it here. I love the bright reds and oranges that she used. It looks completely different than the current version on her pattern cover. I can't wait to see it when it's finished. |
 |
| This is Karen's newest pattern to be published soon. We're looking for a good name. Any suggestions? |
Thanks for visiting! Come back soon to see our other weekend projects made with non-Kaffe fabric.

ReplyDeleteI'm probably blind, but I cannot find Karen's Forever Yours quilt pattern on the link you gave..help. I really like it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for responding with help so quickly! I found it!
DeleteLove the quilts that Karen is working on. How about "Plinko" for the runner because the layout reminds me of how the balls fall in a plinko game.
