Gleaned Quilt X 2

I was so excited when Stephanie, from Fancy That Design House, asked if I could make a sample of her Gleaned quilt ;)   I just love Stephanie's beautiful fabrics and her quilt designs are always so fun and original!!! And wouldn't you know it, right after I said "Absolutely Yes!!!" to Stephanie, my good friends at Moda asked If I could make a sampler for them as well!!  So Double Gleaned Quilts  for me, so fun!!!  

The Gleaned quilt uses Stephanie's brand new Foraged, Found & Hand Me Down Fabric Collection.  This line is absolutely gorgeous!!  The prints are just stunning and the colors are so rich!!  And you know, I especially love those deep purples ;)   And Stephanie is not only an artist with her fabric, but also with her pattern designs.  Talk about making a Panel just pop!!!  Isn't that asymmetrical scrappy plaid bult around the panel just amazing ;)   

And Stephanie doubled your layouts with this one, designing the quilt around both the Iron Panel (shown here) as well as the Eggshell Panel.   Both are jus so pretty, I don't know how you will choose ;) The quilt finishes at 60" x 72" so it is a great lap size to snuggle up with a good book!!    

And while the piecing in this one was super easy, with just basic squares and rectangles, I highly recommend some Alpahabitties, because there are a lot of different sizes and prints to keep track of on this one.  Having them all labeled made it so much easier.   (Especially as I was making 2 at the same time!)  

And when it came time to quilt it, I decided on some basic traveling feathers.  I love how it brings out the design on the panel, and adds lots of beautiful flow to all of the piecing.  I used a medium grey thread so it blended will on both the dark and the light prints!

And look at all of that yummy texture it added!! And yes, I quilted both of the Gleaned quilts  I made with the same all over design.  You can't tell that the picture above is from a different quilt than the picture below, tee hee hee ;)  Truly, this quilt was so much fun to make that even though I have already made it twice, I want to make it again in the Eggshell layout ;)  

And if you love it as much as I do, you can make your own!!  There is already a Gleaned Quilt Kit available that has everything you need to whip up one for yourself ;)   I think this would also make a beautiful wedding gift!!  And once it is all cut and labeled, it really pieces up fast ;)   

And  those are my 2 Gleaned quilts !!   I don't know why I forgot to take a picture of the two of them together, but trust me, you have seen two ;)     This was such a wonderful project to make and I am so glad I got to make it twice!!!   And there is more Foraged, Found & Hand Me Down  Quilts to come because I got to make another of Stephanie's gorgeous patterns.  I will share it tomorrow!!  

Thanks so much for popping in and sharing these finishes with me today :)   

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!
