The final 2 blocks for the Twinkler (a UFO) quilt were a quick stitch on Monday afternoon.
Now that all 30 blocks are made I can begin to work on layouts for the quilt, which will be one of my main February goals. The jelly roll used in this one was Bubble Blues, a batik by Robert Kaufman. I did scrappy white-on-white for backgrounds. Each month in 2024 I made 2-3 blocks so it was a gradual project.
In the project box I also had set aside another jelly roll to do a second one of these. This one is all browns and golds, also batiks. And I have a background for it. So, sometime in the future there may be another Twinkler. I've tucked the block pattern in with those fabrics.
Those blue stars are going to make a lovely quilt, blue and white is such a classic combination. Brown is a color I don't sew with much, it's hard to find luminous and not muddy browns. The jelly roll looks like it has some of the more luminous browns in it.
ReplyDeleteI too would love to make another Twinkler quilt. Can't wait to see yours come together into a quilt!
ReplyDeleteI really like your blue twinkler blocks, so elegant! The brown/gold will be pretty too, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI bet those brown/golds will make gorgeous twinkler blocks.
ReplyDeleteI like that block pattern
ReplyDeleteGood finish and the batiks would look great using this pattern.
