Andromeda - Finally Finished!!!

 I am so excited to be sharing this new Happy Quilting Quilt !!!   Here is Andromeda!!!   I have had the top pieced and half of the quilting done months and months ago, but it got pulled off the longarm for a deadline project and has been sitting there ever since.   But lucky for me, a deadline always equals motivation to pull a project back out ;)  I am teaching this Andromeda pattern in two weeks and needed the finish quilt for the sample in class.   So yippee . . . It is finally finished!!  


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 right now until the end of January for the $5.00  pattern of the month ;) The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format. 


 Andromeda is an intermediate skill level pattern, but I have had beginners make it as well ;)  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.  (or goslings;)     


This version of  Andromeda is made with Shimmer by Zen Chic And I just love a neutral quilt!!  There are a few prints in the line that were a little light, but I quilted it with a darker thread so that they would stand out a little more.   This is the queen size.   I love the metallic in this line and the neutral colors again just remind me of the Nordic Night feel ;)  The quilt is Fat Quarter Friendly, so you can grab a bundle and get cutting!!!  And the pattern is so versatile, it would look great in just about any bundle.


I quilted this version of  Andromeda with a lot of custom quilting.  Which is another reason it sat around so long waiting to be finished quilted.   I did beautiful feathers with pebbles in the background.  Then in the blocks, I did small squares and pebbles on the print and left the background unquilted so that stars just pop!!  And I used lots of colors of threads, as I matched and highlighted the blocks ;)  


Andromeda like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options so you can make whatever size quilt works for you ;)   I still really want to make a small version with a color background.  I think it will be just awesome!!  Baby, Lap, Picnic, Twin and King.     



And that is my new  Andromeda quilt!!!     (FINALLY!!!)   I am just so happy to share it with all of you!!  I truly did a happy dance as I got this off the longarm, and as you can see by all that yummy texture, I think it was worth the wait on that custom quilting ;) So are you ready to make your own Andromeda quilt??    If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you are finished with your Andromeda Quilts I would love to see them!!!  You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add it to social media with  #happyquiltingwithmc ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
