Quite a while ago I ordered a jelly roll of Kona brights<\/a> by Robert Kaufman; not because I needed it but because I love solids and it called out to me. Once it arrived I put it on my shelf and admired the vibrancy of the colours and how well the colours looked together.<\/p>\n

Last year I opened it and grabbed the purples to use as binding for the Mindless Flannel<\/a> quilt. Then I rolled it back together again, stood back and admired it some more.<\/p>\n

On Monday the admiring stopped and the cutting started. After sorting out the yellows and greys I turned to one of my favourite fabrics ever and chopped that up too. ‘Heron’ is from the line Across the Pond by Cloud 9 Fabrics\u00a0<\/a>. The design of this quilt had been in my head for quite some time. I could picture it and I really wanted to do it but there was always something else I needed to finished first. The list of things I need to finish is still as long as my arm but the quilt top has finally been made and it’s just the way I imagined it would be.<\/p>\n

\"Heron<\/a><\/p>\n

Excuse the poor quality picture. We have been swallowed up by the fog and despite having all the lights on it’s still really dark. However, I love the bright colours in real life. It has, of course, been pieced with my favourite Aurifil thread 50wt colour 2000 which is a lovely neutral colour that seems to go with all the colours in this quilt.<\/p>\n

It finishes at 48″ x 60″ and is going to go and live on our sofa once I’ve quilted it. Little Miss Bossy-Boots tried to get this one too (she already has two quilts) but I thought it would be nice to have one we can share.<\/p>\n

My dilemma now is how to quilt it. Once upon a time I would have just echoed the log cabin but after taking three (!) fmq classes on Craftsy<\/a> I really want to do something else. Should I go for feathers (very ambitious), dot to dot quilting \u00e0 la Angela Walters or use some of the designs I’ve learned from Leah Day? Answers on a postcard, please!<\/p>\n

PS I will post better pictures the minute we have a sunny day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
