Work in progress

I haven't been doing much sewing lately, but I did just start working on my 4th Lotus quilt. The fabric is called Piper and is a new line that Dear Stella just announced today. It'll be available in February. 

I have the first row done & almost all the blocks for the other rows made.


Here is a digital version of the quilt

I'm excited about how it is all coming together!

The fabrics are very saturated and pack a punch. 

 I chose to use the chunky strip as a bias binding and this big purple print for my backing.

I'll share more photos as soon as I get it finished!

and p.s. about your post on Cancer, I so agree with what it can't do! I'm at St Jude as a volunteer and have post on that as well. What a place to help children!

I have looked all over to buy this pattern. Do you not sell it or something?

Jean said...

Very pretty! I got the Lotus pattern from my local shop and am working on quilting it now. I used red, black, orange and yellow batiks and love how it came out.
