Finally!

Well, it took me a lot longer that I thought it would, but here it is! This is A Breath of Avignon fabric by Moda, and the Three Coins pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. (See previous post.)
I have adapted the pattern a bit to fit my king size bed. Instead of 9 blocks (3X3) in the center, my center consists of 16 blocks (4X4). That meant 20 star blocks instead of 16. I also added an additional row of half square triangles around the outside edge. That made the outside edge look like the blocks in the center. I think I will also add one more border, perhaps one of the red fabrics, to bring out the red in the stars. The pattern doesn't call for a border, but I think I need to make it a little bigger (You can see my current quilt peeking out underneath the new top.....) We do sell the kit in the shop. (It's not online yet, and it's going so fast that I don't think we will put it up there.) You can call the shop if you want to order one....406-420-1003. I bought two kits to make my quilt. I did have some fat quarters left over.....I will use them to make pillows!

LOVE AT FIRST SITE...A BREATH OF AVIGNON

I can't explain it....maybe it was my honeymoon in France.....but I loved this fabric from hello! I had been eagerly awaiting A Breath of Avignon, this new Moda line from American Jane designer Sandy Klop. It finally arrived a week or so ago. We have been cutting kits and I've started on the shop sample of Three Coins by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company.


Believe it or not, cutting it out took a day and a half! (I am almost doubling the original size of the pattern, but we kitted it up like the pattern, 72" X 72".)

I love putting the star blocks together!

This quilt will obviously turn out brighter than the original. Hope it works as well as that one!

P.S. I have never met a Miss Rosie's pattern I didn't love!


I make myself pay for my goofs! ($1 per goof if I have it....)

There have been a few..... Of course, those $$ get recycled at the next quilt show!

Stay tuned, I hope to have the top finished before I go to Chicago on the 17th.... Wish me luck....
