I am so glad you shared the story behind the fabric! I had a vague notion that it had to do with you and Jim, but I couldn’t remember the details. The black background helps give it a stained glass vibe and really makes the scenes pop and I love how you’ve used the star block to showcase the fabric.

It relly does look like a stained glass window, seen from within a cold and dark ancient church. The large blocks are perfect for this print. What are you going to do with it? Is it going to be a 20th anniversary project?

Would anyone be interested in a quilt-related swap? I’ve started a thread here: Quilting swap?

I’m not sure what I think of this… I had a wave of inspiration, and decided to just run with it. Not overthink it. Just dive in. (Not my strong suit.) But now I’m not sure I like it at all. My rough plan was to do raw edge applique, then free motion quilt the panel, before turning it into something. Maybe a tote bag, or a pillow, or who knows what.

I think it will be very attractive. I like the tote bag idea.

I am of no help on this. As I scrolled down, I thought, “Ooh, I love that!” Then I read what you wrote and thought, “Hmm, maybe she should change the layout around a little bit.” Looking at it again a day later though, I can say that my initial thought upon seeing it again is that I do like the randomness of the layout.

For funzies… my “helper" Miss Rosa. It took over an hour to cut fabric for one 12” block haha.

I like it, but then I love circles. It would be a great pool cushion cover, but I’m guessing the colours would fade a bit-but that could also be really nice as it slowly weathers and fades

I got a few of the circles quilted with wonky stitching. Hopefully I can get a few more done while Ada is at camp this morning. I might stipple in the blank white space. I can’t decide if that should be white, or black. If I make a tote, the bottom and handles would be black…

Simple Irish Chain block… I already posted a block, but here is a second:
Now off to print 80 copies of the pattern and get ready for guild meetings.
