Welcome to the eighth day of the Modern Plus Sign Quilts book hop! Today, we will be sharing Celestial and Pinwheel Plus as well as hosting a giveaway of two charm packs.
Celestial
Celestial is the biggest quilt in the book, finishing at a queen size. The quilt uses large 24" blocks though, so only 16 blocks are needed for the whole quilt! Celestial was hung in the C&T booth at QuiltCon and when it gets back I plan on using this quilt for my bed :) Johellen George worked her quilting magic on Celestial creating a large meandering square design.
The fabrics used for this version were various Cotton & Steel prints on a background of Cotton Supreme fabric in indigo (a great dark blue), all from RJR Fabrics. The batting used was Warm & White and Aurifil threads were used for the piecing.

Pinwheel Plus
There are a lot of points to match (and half square triangles to make) in this quilt so Paige and I ranked this quilt as one of the more time consuming to make. Even before I had finished piecing the top, I knew that I wanted a the whimsical double loop design that Johellen had quilted on quilt for me in the past so she quilted the wonderful quilting on Pinwheel Plus.
The fabrics in this quilt top are Michael Miller Cotton Couture solids in Coin and White (Coin is one of my favorite grays, it has an undertone of brown in it so it pairs so well with pinks) as well as various pink prints. The batting was Warm & White and Aurifil threads were used for the piecing.
Carole and Alison used the Pinwheel Plus pattern to make some new quilts and items, please check out their versions...
