I have the honor of having contributed to the 19th Issue of Fat Quarterly - Christmas. My design uses solid fabrics and lots of half square triangles to create a fun, modern, and very geometric Xmas quilt.
I quilted each color area of the quilt using matching colored thread and different designs. You can't really see the quilting in the picture above so here is a closeup of the back of the quilt. There were a lot of threads to bury :)
You can check out a preview of the magazine here to see all of the other Christmas quilty goodness.
I had the good fortune to win Christa’s Year of Weekly Giveaways #24 – Kona Solids 6 FQ Pack– back at the end of August from Christa's blog. A week ago I finally decided what to get and I wanted to share with you the fabric that arrived.
If you have never shopped at Christa Quilts you really should check it out. She has a great selection (especially of solids), free shipping in the US, and she has the same Bernina 710 sewing machine as me! I went shopping for Kona solids to fill in my blue stash. I have a bunch of dark blues but needed some lighter blues and aquas. A few FQ extra past the giveaway 6 might have made it into my shopping cart :)
I have ordered from Christa a few times and her service and shipping is always excellent, but what I really wanted to show you was how she packaged each fat quarter. Each has its own little envelope with the Kona color name and style number on it. This is so helpful!
I hope you all have an excellent day!
**This is not a sponsored post, while I did win some of the fat quarters I paid for the rest myself and am getting no compensation for this post. I just am really happy with Christa's store and wanted to share.
