I made this little piece last year thinking I'd practice my machine quilting but ended up hand quilting it instead :)
Simple cable in the border and straight line quilting in the blocks.
The fabric on the back is . . .
. . . Hannah Bella by Robyn Pandolph for SSI. There was no doubt I had to name my quilt HannahBella because those are the names of my granddaughters. How perfect is that??
My Lapis Blue stars from last week.
A favorite. Material Pleasures by Terry Clothier Thompson / Barbara Brackman :)
I already used these two fabrics for the Blotch-Ground Chintz Stars.
By Karen Jarrar for Marcus Brothers.
I'm making good progress with my scraps. The game I'm playing is that I'll keep going until I run out of lights / neutrals which may be sooner than I think or when I don't have any more fabric for the alternate blocks, whichever comes first!
Good news! The book Red and White Quilts: Infinite Variety is due out in September. I just pre-ordered my copy on Amazon :)
Have a great day!

I can't wait for the R&W book. I may get it for myself for christmas.
Wonderful fabrics in your small quilt. Hand quilting is always so perfect for the repro minis. Thanks for the heads up on the R&W book. It will be a must. Great fabrics for your stars.
