Each print has a light and dark counterpart in each motif, which made the block so successful. I chose the Star-in-star block in order to use as much of the line as possible. Sudoku was featured in the Fall 2016 issue of Scrap Quilts from Fons and Porter and features a star-in-a-star block that I just love. This quilt uses all of the color prints from the line, where Silent Film used all of the black and white prints. Sudoku is the second quilt I made with Urban Scandinavian by Kirstyn Cogan for P&B Textiles. I can assure you, they are fantastic in person! That, I think, is a contributing factor as to why I have never had a quilt juried into the show.
I really need to work on my photography, but last minute entries means that 9 out of 10 days are torrential rain and there are no good places to take indoor photos.
Like walking past the cupcake place in the mall and you SWEAR you aren’t going to spend another penny on cupcakes, they are bad for you and go right to your butt and are way overpriced, but OH! Look! Three for the price of one? Well, I’d be stupid not to buy three! nom nom nom….well, you get the picture =) I swear I am too busy to make stuff to enter, then last minute I see a challenge that looks interesting, and then boom I make quilts for it and enter on the last day possible. FOr me it’s the same thing over and over. Its that time of year again, the annual QuiltCon Reject letters are arriving in inboxes everywhere.

Night Lights can be found on newsstands now in the May issue of American Quilter Magazine.Īmerican Quilter Magazine, Cloud 9, Free Patterns, quilt, Quilting 1 Comment and of course Cloud 9 is organic so the fabrics are soft and supple, much like sleeping on a cloud. I quilted it in a combination of straight lines, chevrons, and swirling loops,because I was on a tight schedule and why not? I am so happy with how it turned out. in cool cloudy light the colors are sharp and deep. in warm sunlight the quilt pulls a very retro photo vibe. the warm contrast of the indigo pulled new life out of the colors, and it meshed perfectly with my mental image. I kept circling back to that, and started adding in some negative space using a deep indigo solid. The colors of the lights in the city blending and blurring together. In my minds eye, as I was playing with shape and color, I kept seeing a skyline at night. I’ve been on an on-point layout kick lately, and after trying out a few blocks I settled on a simple HST square block. Ultimately I wanted to make something that looked more complex than it actually was. I had a lot of fun trying out different combinations with these fabrics. Stars have a special meaning for me, and I really liked the color palette, so of course I immediately said yes. A few months ago American Quilter Magazine reached out to see if I wanted to create a quilt using the new We Are All Stars collection from Cloud 9.
