Quattro Colour - Part 2

Quatro Colour Quilt

the Bonnie and Camille Version

It has been a little while since I have shared the progress of my Quatro Colour Quilt.

The blocks are a quick make.

But adding those cross blocks slows things down a little.

My pink colour graduation for the cross blocks is really starting to show now.

And this is where I have stalled .........  adding the next round of cross blocks.

I will slowly plod away at adding the next round and share again when there is more progress to see.

I may also be a little distracted by a second version ..... whoops!

More on that one soon.

Happy Stitching,

Sharon xx

Southern Aurora Quilt - Bittersweet Blog Tour - GIVEAWAY

Today is my day on the 

"Blog Tour"

I had the absolute pleasure of starting to playing with this new range from Sue Daley back in November last year.  When you English Paper Piece you need a LOT of lead time!

I had this design sitting here waiting for the perfect fabric and once these arrived I knew it was the right time to dive in and write my first EPP Pattern - Southern Aurora.

Sue has designed this range with the fussy cutter in mind and has worked the colours to team beautifully with Riley Blakes Basics Range.

I find keeping my secret sewing to myself really hard and during the making of this quilt I did let the occasional pic sneak through to my social media :)

I designed this quit to allow for as much or as little fussy cutting as the maker would wish.

I also designed a NEW SHAPE!

I wanted the hexagons to stand out in their own right so I designed the "Lilabelle Polygon" to frame the 4" Hexagons perfectly.

Here are just some of the examples of the fussy cutting within my Quilt.

This Quilt is pretty special to me. Not only is it my first (yes there are more coming) EPP Pattern, with my own shape, this one also made it Debut at the International Quilt Market in Salt Lake City.

 Linda at Ladybug Quilting has quilted this one for me.

Linda is very clever at choosing a design that works with the quilt.

This design gives Souther Aurora a nice flow and movement. 

The pattern for Southern Aurora can be purchased with the templates and papers.

Ask at your Local Quilt Shop or visit some of the stockists that I have listed on my stockets page HERE. If you are a retail outlet that would like my Wholesale details please email me at sharon@lilabellelanecreations.com 

I also have it available as a stand alone hard copy pattern in my ETSY Store HERE.

(No papers and Templates)

These photos were taken here in Bendigo before my quilt left for its adventure at Quilt Market.

If you are in the Ballarat area, my quilt is currently hanging at Cotton Factory and if you are in Queensland it will be on show on the 22nd and 23rd October in Roma and the following weekend at the Gympie Show.  Just look for Janeene at the stand for  "Fabric Patch".

Progress on the Octagons

"All Over the Octagon"

This is a slow brewing project which is totally fine with me as I like to flick from one project to another as my mood dictates :)

My Octagons have recently returned home from a little trip to Quilt Market in the US, Perth and then new Zealand.  Whilst they were away I kept adding to the family.  So far I have 40 Octagons so its slowly growing.  I just need to find some more time to sit and join them all together.

Someone please tell me that I am not alone in having many hand piecing project to flick between depending on my mood :)

Happy Stitching,

Sharon x
