My Most Recent Quilt

Here's the most recent thing to come out of the sewing room. I love this quilt and I especially love the border (Penny the cat seems to like it too). I am just loving red and white lately. The center of the quilt is made with Roman Holiday charm squares by 3 Sisters for Moda which I have had for a while. Don't you just love anything Moda? I could not buy the border fabric that came with this group, it's sold out everywhere, but got this fabric from another 3 Sisters fabric group called Glace.
The pattern came from Heather Peterson's Charmed and Dangerous book. My quilter did a paisley looking quilting pattern which compliments the quilt nicely.

I don't even know what I'll make next. I have been so busy at work I don't know night from day. Some sewing time is just what my spirit needs so I'll be at it again soon I'm sure. By the way, the fall banner is up because it was really cool here this morning. It feels like Autumn is here to me!

  1. That is such a neat pattern, the border fabric looks great with the Roman Holiday fabrics. I made a quilt using the Roman Holiday fabric too, don't you just love it?
    Very pretty quilt & Penny is so sweet to give her approval.

  7. I love that quilt and Glace is perfect with it! Sometimes I can get a little bored with how Moda lines start looking alike but as soon as I need a border or something for an old line I get very grateful that there is always something that goes perfect :)

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
