First Look at Reunion

Sweetwater just gave a sneak-peek at their beautiful new line, Reunion coming out for Moda   . . . in JANUARY 2012 ?!  that's worse than waiting for Christmas!  .  .  .  my teeth are aching!  Look how cute those fabrics are.




In the mean time, I'll work with their most recent line, HOMETOWN, available at your local quilt shop, or Fat Quarter Shop if you don't feel like getting out. 

 Maybe I'll make this:

The pattern for Yacht Club in Sweetwater's EtsyShop

 Look at all this other fun stuff they have:

charms

 table runners

 notecards

art prints such as this one with all your favorite quilt blocks,  

or this one which can be customized in a variety of ways:  
streets in your town
favorite vacation cities
family facts
wedding date
etc

Greek Squares Quilt - finished

King size greek square quilt finally finished!


I made a stencil, and hand chalked it.  Then, I free-motion quilted it on my regular size sewing machine (not recommended).  

Late mid-stream, I decided to add the blue around the edge so that it would fit on my king bed (also not recommended).  Recognize the large pillow on the bed?  

It was the inspiration for the fabrics in the quilt.


You can see more of this quilt's evolution in this post.

It's kind of growing on me.  I think it's a keeper.
