More quilting.
and more...
Hanging out together on a bench
Check out my tutorial on how to bind quilts with 120-degree angles to finish this quilt.
We tried to make these bleachers work
...but it just wasn't happening.


We headed to another area first thing in the morning.
But it also just wasn't happening.
So we went to yet another area.

Here I am talking about what I'm imaging in the photo.
This was not what I imagined! 
eventually we got a great shot!!

Here is the quilt in Robert Kaufman's booth at Quilt Market. Thank you to everyone who has photographed it & said such nice comments. It has been the popular star of this show! :-)
Science Fair & all of my other new patterns will be available in a few weeks!

So I'd love to know... which one do you like best?  Black or White?

    I love Kate Spain's fabrics so much, but I have to say I think I love the black Architextures one even more. Amazing! Very, very cool.

    I can't pick love them both! But if I can only have one its the white one. I love Kate Spain fabrics. And I love the outtakes, they make the process so much more real!

    I love them both! I'm usually a white space kind of girl but I'm feeling the black even more... and I think gray would be gorgeous, too!

    You are sure persistent in getting those shots Julie. Love seeing them all though. And that is another of my favorite quilts.


    I know you have been super busy and maybe you haven't done it yet, but did I miss the winner of your book? I've still got my fingers crossed.

    This is a wonderful pattern, I really like the pointy edges! The dark backgroud really sayes "Science" but I love the colors in the other best.

    Love this pattern and I usually like the white background to pop the fabrics - but have to say my choice would be the black one.

    Normally would choose black because white gets dirty faster, but I adore honey honey it is brighter and just more fun!

    Ummm...it's hard to choose between two such awesome hip quilts! I will say that the white one jumped out at me at first, and I loved it, but then I started studying the black one..and I loved it too! I have been so patiently awaiting for the pattern, I can hardly wait! Almost...hopefully :) Your quilts are absolutely awesome Julie, great work!
