Nova Quilt


This is Sheri's Nova Quilt and it is a pattern you can find in Kim Brackett's book Scrap-Basket Sensations.  Sheri made this quilt out of her batik scraps and I have this one on my 'to-do' list as my batik scrap basket is starting to overflow too!



I chose the pantograph Taro for this one and used Quilters Dream Blend batting.  The thread is a light beige So Fine thread and the backing is a beige wide Stonehenge.



It can be quite tricky getting pictures of quilts on the snow after a fresh layer has fallen and every time you try to lay the quilt down the fluffy snow flies into the air and covers the quilt.  Not to mention all the marks you leave in the snow as you try again and again to get the quilt to lay flat. Well I guess this was my lucky day as when I went to lay the quilt out the wind blew in just the right direction at the right time and the quilt gently floated down on the snow without disturbing anything!! It was a 'Magic Carpet" moment with a perfect landing!
