Streamers Quilt - Quilted Living Blog Hop

Today is my stop on the  Quilted Living Blog Hop that Fat Quarter Shop is hosting and I am so excited to share my newest quilt finish for it!!!  So, let's get right to it.   This is my new Streamers Quilt!!!!


Quilted Living is written by Gerri Robinson of Planted Seed Designs.  Quilted Living is filled with 10 amazing designs for summer time.  They are absolutely fabulous and just make you want to visit a beach, or light some fireworks :)   The directions are super easy to follow and the diagrams are wonderful.  And the pictures in the book are gorgeous.   Just an all around winner!!!


Seriously, the hardest part of this blog hop was deciding which project from the Quilted Living Book to make.  They are all just so great!!! But in the end, I decided on the Streamers Quilt :)  It is just so fun and I love all the movement. Also, the biggest thing that drew me to this quilt . . .


When you look at it from an angle, it has a chain design!!!!  And we all know how much I love (Irish) Chain designs!!!!!   So fun!!!!  


I was also super excited to use my Pie Making Day Bundle that I got at Sample Spree.   This is Brenda Ratliff's first collection with RJR Fabrics and I loved it the second I saw it and have been so excited to cut into it.  And it was absolutely perfect for this Streamers design.  I love that every print is tone on tone so it really makes the design stand out!!!   And I just love, love, love all of those yummy, rich colors!!!


When it came time to quilt, I figured a Streamers quilt with a summer blog hop called for some fireworks quilting.  I did my little bursts in a smaller scale than usual and had so much fun with it.   And, of course, I used my favorite 402 So Fine thread for that perfect blend.  (in fact, it blends so well it is kind of hard to see, sorry about that.)


But I absolutely love all of that beautiful texture!!!   So fun, huh ;)  This quilt was so much fun to make and it went together super easy and super quick.  A great go-to summer throw!!!   I love my new Streamers Quilt and I can't wait to go curl up with it under a tree out back with a good book ;)


Thank you so much to Gerri and Fat Quarter Shop for having me a part of this wonderful Blog Hop.   Be sure to pop on over to the Fat Quarter Shops Welcome Post as there might just be a fabulous giveaway to go along with the hop!!!!  You can also find the hop schedule in that post so you can be sure and catch all of the Quilted Living goodness!!!

  2. interesting - I am not a fan of all the prints in pie day - have always loved the bright colors, your creation shows how smaller cuts of those prints can work in a quilt because of the color and pattern - nice job
