Check out the latest edition of Quiltmaker!
I love the cover quilt. Â It’s a Bonnie Hunter quilt and I’ll admit it, I pulled some fabric to make it already….it will likely be a UFO in the works.
As amazing as that is, you’ll also want to check out our quilt….Strawberry Sundae. Â We made this quilt with the intention that it should have been in our book, Country Girl Modern-but it was the first quilt that was cut when we found out that we didn’t have room. Â We love the quilt and fought for it to be included in the book but it didn’t have the more modern look our publisher was going for. Â That didn’t make Kelli or I like it any less. Â Besides we knew the quilt was a good design and that one of the magazines would quickly pick it up.
Here is our picture of the quilt. Â We were planning on naming the quilt Tops and Bottoms. Â There’s a kids book we love that is called Tops and Bottoms. Â With the strip at the top and bottom of the quilt we thought that it was a fun name…but Quiltmaker named it Strawberry Sundae which is a good name too.
Anyway…we love the quilt and hope you do too. Â It’s a wonder of scrappy goodness. Â We did use a Moda Fabric Line when we made this…Honey Sweet by Fig Tree. Â It’s an older line now so might be hard to find but I am sure any Fig Tree fabric line will give you similar results.
I have a fun story to tell about this quilt but I’ll save that for an upcoming post when the quilt returns to our house. Â In the meantime, I don’t think this is an issue you’ll want to miss.
I’m glad this quilt is in Quiltmaker and wasn’t completely lost to us! I LOVE it!! I love Bonnie’s quilt too but Strawberry Sundae is really calling my name so Strawberry Sundae will get done first :o)
Love this quilt! It’s so pretty. Thanks for sharing it!
Strawberry Sundae is such a beautiful quilt! I’m sure going to get Quiltmaker this month!
I LOVE you quilt! I’m gladit’ in the magazine too! Specailly since I need to make a PINK quilt for my grand DD… I think it should be Strawberry Sundae too
I, too, love this quilt! I appreciate Bonnie’s quilts and her commitment to using true scraps, but I guess I’m a little too traditional for her look most of the time. I received a QM subscription for Christmas and was so glad to see this pattern in it when I got my magazine yesterday.
Glad to see that the magazine that picked up your quilt was Quiltmaker as I already have a subscription to QM. You girls make such pretty quilts!
