I saw this Vast Quilt sewn by Anna Graham from a pattern by Jeni Baker, and so I bought the book as well as a 18.5"square Creative Grids ruler.
I love Graham's color palette of indigo, pale blue, gray, white with pops of mustard in the quilt above, and I've got fabric in similar colors somewhere in my stash. However, I also had purchased a bunch of fabric to make a quilt for a sister-in-law in the same color palette as her November wedding of burgundy and burlap. I thought I was going to place those fabrics in a pattern called Modern Rose Garden by Carolina Patchworks, but was too impatient to find more burgundy and burlap colored fabrics in small, medium, and large scale prints to also mix up the volume. I decided instead to go simpler and sew what fabrics I had already chosen into a Vast quilt. Below are some of the half square triangle squares I sewed this past Sunday.
 |
| Boundless Chelsea Rose and Essex flax linen |
 |
| Fabric with text I bought on sale from Pink Castle, and I forget who is the designer or from which line of fabrics, but I love that the text is about roses and is burgundy in color. |
 |
| White linen and burgundy fabric from Lily & Loom Modern Hand Drawn Mod Decor Fabric line |
 |
| White linen and burgundy fabric also from Lily & Loom Modern Hand Drawn Mod Decor Fabric |
 |
| At 69.5" square, this is the fastest quilt top I've ever pieced |
 |
| And you can guess from my reading, what I'll be doing this next weekend |
Hi! Off subject, but I wandered upon your blog and found your post from many years ago regarding your visit to Rae Dunn's gallery. I am wondering if you still have the vase that you purchased from her? I would love to see a picture of it. I am a HUGE Rae Dunn collector and love seeing what others have. I have never seen an original. Thank you so much in advance.
