Hello friends, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I quite enjoyed these few days of no work, very little cooking and cleaning, and just general relaxing with family and friends. I even caught up on some much needed sleep, so no complaints here :).
And, I got to read through the newest issue of Love Patchwork and
Quilting magazine. It's full of beautiful quilting projects, and I'm
excited to have my Simple Star quilt included, yay!!!
It's a super simple, pretty quick to make quilt. It's made of large
equilateral triangles, no hexagons or y-seams involved, which makes it a
good introduction to piecing triangles.
I used bright solid backing, which I think is a lovely contrast to sparse quilt top, and quilted it using vertical straight lines. Easy peasy.
This newest edition of LPQ magazine (issue 29) should be hitting our US stores in about a week or two (already available in the UK). Hope you'll get one for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for stopping by. Svetlana
I think it's funny that you introduce what is possibly the prettiest Hanukkah quilt I've seen with Christmas wishes! I appreciate you giving me a years notice to get it together! ;p
ReplyDeletemy favorite magazine! congrats to you. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this, it just makes my heart smile. This could really let some lovely fabrics shine in those stars. :)
ReplyDeleteJust ordered a 60 degree ruler today! Love this, looks like a good can't screw it up first project for it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous quilt--I have the digital version of the magazine. And I'm happy to see it here as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful design- simple and striking! That magazine is SO hard to get in Australia! I really should subscribe to it, shouldn't I?
ReplyDeleteI love this- so simple but yet stunning! I love the quilting and the solid backing is perfect! A definite must-do!!
ReplyDeleteThis is sweet and simple and perfect quilt! Love the stars and congrats on the magazine feature!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see your fantastic work in print!
ReplyDeleteSimple and beautiful! I wish you a lot of new wonderful quilts in 2016 :) Much health, happyness and let your wishes will come true!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! Glad you got some time to chill out! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this! I sure wish I could find these magazines by me. I tried a subscription but had delivery issues where I wouldn't get any for months and then one month I'd receive three issues. Really frustrating because it looks like a great magazine. Congrats on getting this in the magazine!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I always admire your work, it is always so simple but impactful. Great job on the magazine!
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt, Svetlana! I adore graphic quilts like this!
ReplyDeleteHi Svetlana, I was just reading through this issue again and your quilt stopped me in my tracks. I am looking for a simple, striking quilt like this. I wanted to ask about your backing fabric as I've been looking for a small cross/plus print like this. I've been searching Etsy but can't seem to find this one. Would you share the fabric line / designer - I need a hint. Thank you!
