I saw this beautiful quilt on one of Bonnie Hunter's Blog, from one of her retreaters, some time around Aug/2025. This person is in the process of hand quilting it in a hoop. Looks like she is doing echoing in the white areas and again in the blue. Seeing this picture, just renewed my want to make one of my own. I love this one all in different colours of blue.
It has been a while that I've wanted to make one of my own, that when my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I thought of this GO! Accuquilt die cutter. It will make easy work of cutting all those curves. So, that became my Christmas present.......I won't tell you which Christmas though....lol.
Come to think of it, it wasn't that long ago, because it was while we were living here in this house and we moved here 4 1/2 years ago. Hmmmm, I am going to go with two Christmases ago, but don't hold me to it. The pattern name on this die cutter is Joseph's coat 11" finished die.
Part of the dilemma of starting this quilt, is trying to make up my mind on what colour or colours I want to do mine in. The blue one above is gorgeous, I also like scrappy colours. I was also thinking maybe something with modern fabrics, but I don't think I have enough of that type of fabric, to do the last option. The one thing I do want to do, is only use the fabrics I already have. In other words using my scraps.
I'm still concentrating on finishing some of the quilts I already have started, before I get into anything new, and there is a list of "Quilt-want-to-be" quilts that I started. I started the list to remind me of what I want to do, but also to acknowledge that I want to do it and hold myself off from actually starting it. It works.....sometimes.....lol.
My works in progress list is coming down. I'll share those details with you soon. Christmas and New Years are fast approaching!! I can't believe how fast we got here this year.
Take care everyone.
