“Oh! Wow!” Quilt Is Done

And this one is such a handsome quilt. I’m very pleased with how it came out.

To recall, this is a Tara Faughnan pattern (“Stacks”) from the first The Color Collective in 2019. I made one and gifted it for a wedding present. Then I saved the leftover blocks and fabrics and moved them with me to South Carolina in late 2022. I’ve been trying to catch up with old projects and with using up stash for the past few years, so here’s one result.

I love the backing–and this picture does not capture the rich color. It’s “Don’t Leave Me in Leaf” by Moda.

I used the pantograph “Sumptuous” by Hermone Agee and quilted with a Jade color thread from Signature threads. This pic of this quilt on the back of my couch gives an idea of its size. The blocks finish at 9 inches wide and 2.25 deep.

The texture on this quilt is just awesome!

Now I’m playing with making the block’s main fabric a neutral.

And we’re all keeping an eye on the weather. We need rain, but… We don’t need a hurricane.

  1. The quilt turned out quite lovely!!!! Bigger than what I imagined from the first photo. I love how you’ve embraced all these rich colors in so many of the quilts you’ve made.

    I too am watching that storm out there, hoping it stays off the coast and doesn’t make landfall. None of us on the East coast need a “h” word. My fear is that other hurricane pushes it into the coast, and praying that one turns NE and pulls this one with it.

    Honestly, I could use a couple of rainy days to clean and sew. I really need to clean and reorganize my sewing room before I can even think of sewing. Daunting task to say the least.

    Have a great day!!!
