And today I get to share another new Happy Quilting Pattern and Quilt and I am just so happy to share!!! Here is Andromeda!!! I have had so many people tell me how much they just love Nordic Nights, but wish it wasn't curved piecing. So this is my creation to give you a similar feel, but without curves. And once again, I got to teach it at Garden of Quilts and it was just so wonderful to see all of the different colors and prints everyone choose to make their blocks in :)
The Andromeda Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version. And it is on Special for it's release with PDF Patterns at $5.50 and the Paper Patterns are $7.00! The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format. (And if you are wondering why my quilt looks different than the cover . . . it's because the version I am sharing today is a sample for Moda and had to be sent off right away, so the original version got put on hold and is currently getting custom quilting . . . more on that soon :)
Andromeda is an intermediate skill level pattern, but once again, we had some beginners in our class and they did just great!! The quilt is made with full blocks and half blocks pieced together in columns to give the shifted layout. The pattern teaches you lots of techniques including quarter square triangles, half square triangles, stitch and flip, and tiny no-waste flying geese. (we kept calling them goslings in class because they are so cute and little!) And the block goes together pretty quick once you have all your units made, so fun ;)
I quilted this version of Andromeda with beautiful feathers. The feathers go back and forth in opposite directions and add so much beautiful texture and movement to the quilt. Truly, I am so glad that I finally feel like I have feathers down, because they truly are a joy to quilt once you feel confident enough to quilt them. And once again, my favorite 402 for the quilting, it's just the best, what can I say!!
And that is my new Andromeda quilt and Pattern!!! And I am just so happy to share it with all of you!!!
