Usually the first snowfall of the year is greeted with my grumblings in October but for this to be postponed to Nov 6 there are no grumblings from me this year!
The snow has also supplied a nice setting for Blanche's stunning quilt that she made for her granddaughter. The pattern is called Midnight Sun by Jinny Beyer. You can find the pattern in the Nov/Dec 2008 issue of Love of Quilting.
She wanted very simple quilting with a fun bright coloured thread. So I used the Fascination panto and a bright purple Lava thread. This is the same panto I used on the Black and White quilt from the last post.
That is a stunner! Do you know the name of the pattern?
ReplyDeleteWe have got to find the name of this pattern! I too think it is stunning; even more so after it has been quilted. Fascination is a great name for this panto and its effect on Blanche's quilt. Kudos to both the piecer and the longarmer. A
ReplyDeletethat quilt is absolutely gorgeous :)
ReplyDeletelove the quilting on it....just enough to compliment all the piecing.
I'm bringing the quilt to Blanche tomorrow so I'll ask her the name of the pattern and add it to the blog post. I think she mentioned it was from a magazine.
