Quilt Swirl and Quilting Swirls

 Yes, today's Wednesday works in progress include a Quilt Swirl and Quilting Swirls!!  

While teaching at retreat last week, I used my "down time" to work on a special project for the Jolly Bar Volume 5 book and I managed to finish the quilt top :)   I have all of the Jolly Bar Books and am so excited for Volume 5 to be released.  They are always such fun and fast quilt to put together.  Details coming in April!  

 I am also working on quilting my Wandering Star quilt with lovely large swirls.  I am teaching this class in three days and since my original is with my good friends at Moda, I am trying to get this second version quilted before class.  

Both the original version and this version are made with the gorgeous Seaglass Summer fabrics by Sweetfire Road for Moda.  And yippee, they are now available in quilt shops!!   I just love the prints and the colors of this line, especially the purples ;)   And just to keep it real . . .yes, I had this quilt top done on January 8th and am waiting until the last possible minute to get it quilted for class.  Deadlines . . .  they keep me hopping ;) 

And speaking of the Wandering Star Pattern . . . it is the $5.00 Pattern of the month ;)   The Wandering Star Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version. Wandering Star is an intermediate skill level pattern with 6 size options and is Fat Quarter Friendly. 

And now, I am off to finish quilting my swirls before I head out to teach today.  I have 6 classes in 3 days at my local hometown retreat.  It is going to be crazy fun :)
