A new year and a new pattern. 2023 is going to be a great year, I just know it. This is the Starry Dawn quilt.
Starry Dawn is a log cabin variation that incorporates a star block in the middle, where the chimney fire would be in a traditional log cabin block.
The Starry Dawn pattern is available in my Etsy Shop and in select quilt shops across the USA.
It is one of the quilts I made for the Island Batik catalog.
My son Levi, assisted with the photo session for this quilt.
I used Island Batik's new Baby Bloomers fabric collection to make the Starry Dawn quilt. Island Batik provided the fabric for this project. Thank you, Island Batik.
I used Hobbs wool batting and quilted an allover loopy meander.
Pretty folds.
I backed this quilt with this colorful Jellybean fabric, also by Island Batik. Isn't it cheerful? It makes me feel good, just looking at these colors.
I made my binding from the same purple fabric as the outer border. I do that with most of my quilts. I like the binding to match, not compete for attention.

This is the Postcard quilt, one of my newest patterns. It's featured in the Island Batik catalog. This pattern is available in my Etsy shop. and in select quilt shops across the USA. I used Island Batik's new Silverado Canyon fabric collection to make this quilt. Island Batik provided the fabric for this project.
The Postcard quilt is made using two variations of this block. It is a simple, yet lovely block to sew. This is a good project for newbie sewists, and a fun one for more advanced quilters looking for a quick finish.
The blocks make a pretty X where they come together. I used Aurifil thread to quilt an allover loopy meander. I also used Hobbs batting and Schmetz needles or this project.
The azaleas were in full bloom when I took the Postcard quilt's photo session. Very different from this freezing winter day!
Postcard quilt draped on my front steps.
The backing fabric is a coordinating gray, also by Island Batik. The binding is a deep blue fabric from the Silverado Canyon collection.
