Yes, I'm behind on my blogging again. There has been so much going on this summer. School is starting here on Monday and my last child is beginning high school. Time has been flying by.
Today I'm showing my Cascade quilt.
Disclaimer: The fabric used for this quilt was given to me by Island Batik at no cost to me.
Cascade is in the Summer 2024 issue of Quilter's World magazine. The pattern is on pages 76 through 81. You can still order a digital copy of this issue online here: Quilter's World Summer 2024 If you are lucky, you may still find a copy at your local quilt shop, but the Fall issue is out now. I have a fun Halloween project in that issue that I'll be posting here soon.
Let me show you this gorgeous fabric I used for my quilt. This collection is Fairy Floss by Island Batik. It has got to be one of my all time favorite Island Batik collections ever!!!! Look at all those gorgeous blues, greens, purples, and pinks. It makes my eyes happy.
This quilt features two simple star blocks in different sizes and colors. This is Star Block A.
Star Block B.
I believe Cascade was the first quilt I finished after I moved into my new home last year. I'm still working on finding the best places to take quilt photos. This one is on my front porch. There is a farmer's field across from me that had nothing in it when this was taken, but is currently full of corn.
Quilting close up. Loopy meander quilting. I used Hobbs Tuscany Cotton Wool Blend for the batting and King Tut Angel Lavender thread.
So lovely.
