This quilt is one of my all time favorite quilts that I've made... hands down.
Sometimes it's hard to name quilts & other times the name comes on day one and never changes. This one is the latter. I had the name set before I even figured out the right fabric.
I've had this design in my sketchbook for a few years. As soon as I saw Parisville I knew it was the perfect fabric for this pattern & got to work!
I know it looks complicated... but it really isn't. It's just one big block! This quilt is so fast to make... ignore that it took me 10 months to make this... I got distracted and made 20 other quilts in that time too!
Here is the back. The pattern has all the info for 3 different sizes.

My brother came to visit recently and we took my two new quilts out to shoot the covers. Unfortunately I didn't end up using any of the photos he took on the covers... but I did use the one to make my new header.
Look at the floating quilt...
It was windy... and I liked this photo but thought it was a bit weird how you just see a peek of my head. This photo does show some of the great quilting Angela did.
This wasn't working at all.
Let the laughter begin...
...and keep going
I really loved the photos we took by the fountain.
...but I just couldn't make them work for the cover. So I headed out a few days later to the beach and took the cover photo on the rocks by the water.

This one is an absolute have to get! Any chance someone sells it as a pdf version? The shipping is always a problem when you live out in the middle of the mediterranean...

Ok Julie ~ I've given up choosing my favorite anymore. You've got way too many that I just love. This one however, is very close to the top of my list of favorites. I really love this one.
Talk about perfection! Love this quilt.
Now THAT's how to photograph a quilt! I love seeing it in use by the fountain and in all of the other photos with you modeling it, too! Kudos!

The quilt is lovely and I so enjoyed the photo shoot outtakes....but hey...the fountain pics are great, maybe some outtakes could go on the back!
Great fabric and sweet pattern...love the outtakes also.

Another beautiful quilt Julie! I missed you at market! I was on a food run for the girls and saw you a few booths over happily talking to someone, but that was it. My one and only Julie sighting LOL!
<3 this one!! It might be my favorite too! I love the picture by the fountain...and love that it's your blog header! Congrats on another awesome pattern!
Do you sell a pdf version of this pattern. I live overseas and the postage costs more than the pattern. 😊
