Flashes of Brilliance - A Finish

Flashes of Brilliance

(Sugarloaf Stars)

75.5 x 78

It's a finish!

It's hand quilted!

I did it! I never thought I could make a quilt like this! 

The pattern, inspired by a vintage quilt, is by Pam Buda and was published in American Patchwork and Quilting October 2015. 

I started making blocks back in February 2019

I finished the top back in January 2021.

I started hand quilting in December 2022.

I did the hand quilting with blanc perle #12 and quilted it similar to the vintage quilt. 

I made the leftover strip set pieces into a flimsy - Sugarloaf With Mustard - in August 2021 and it still needs to be quilted. 

Now what shall I get ready for the hoop? I have several choices. Hmmmm...

(aka Sugarloaf)

I'm hand quilting with perle cotton #12.

 

And I'm quilting it like the one in the magazine. 

And sew on...

I started this in February 2019. 

 Every once in awhile I like to really challenge myself. I really wasn't sure I could actually make these blocks let alone a whole quilt of them. 

Ah, the thrill of meeting a challenge!

I can't believe I made this! I actually made this!  AND I think I have a plan for the scraps. 

Now into the hand quilting pile it goes!

 My January OMG (One Monthly Goal) was to assemble at least one top from the large box of complete block sets.  This is top #4.    Quilt top #1 to be assembled was Dakota Farmer (Stars).  Quilt top #2 was Blue Economy Blocks.  Quilt top #3 was Clarissa.
