It is always a fun day when I get to reveal a secret sewing finish from a while back!! And so let's get right to it. This is Raspberry Sorbet and oh, I just love it's yummy pink and red solid goodness!!!
Raspberry Sorbet is featured in
Quilts from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Fall 2016 edition that just hit newsstands last week!!! I am just thrilled to have my quilt among so many other amazing quilts from wonderful folks around the industry. So fun!!!
Raspberry Sorbet uses my
Boxed It All Up block from Volume 13 of Quiltmakers 100 blocks. But Raspberry Sorbet is in done in a different size, adds a sashing, and obviously, it uses solids to create a fun all over ombre effect.
And don't you just love that ombre effect!!! Oh so fun!!! I used Bella Solids in Christmas Red, Strawberry, Country Red, Raspberry (where the name came from) and Burgundy along with a Bella Solid Bleached White for the Background and Black for the Binding. I just love how that crisp white background just adds to the color gradient popping off the quilt!!
And I can never get enough of wonderful geometric goodness. This block creates a fantastic secondary design which makes you sort of lose where the actual block is as it blends right in. I love that in quilts ;)
When it came time for quilting I decided on an all over Echoed Paisley. I love adding lots of curves in quilting to a super geometric quilt, it just complements it so nicely ;) And I have a
video tutorial on this particular quilting design
right here if you want to try your hand at it ;)
And that is Raspberry Sorbet!!!! It measures 66" x 79" so it's just perfect for a twin size bed or to use as a large lap quilt to snuggle up in. And I just have to say, I just love how they style pictures for magazines, always makes me smile ;)
And that's it for today ;) Thank you so much for popping in and sharing this secret sewing reveal with me ;) I still have to pinch myself some days that I get to share my love of quilting with so many amazing people each day!!
I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!
