Latest Quilt Project

This is my next quilt project while I am formulating my Kaffe Fassett project. These are the bulk of the fabrics going into the quilt.....

probably more pictures than we need....

This is Deb Strain's "Daydreams" for moda fabrics. I really like her greens. There is also a pattern on modafabrics.com which uses this line. Look in the pattern section.



and then this is the panel that started everything. I really like the pictures for the context of the quilt and I will use the Chimneys & Cornerstones 12" square found on quilterscache.com to fill in the three spaces. Then I was thinking of having a line of 6" squares on the top and bottom to lengthen the quilt. Next I would add a small 1" border and then a larger 4 - 6" border. I would also like to use the Friendship star that is in Alex Anderson's book, "Start Quilting." It's a 6" pattern. I could use the checkerboard pattern between the stars or I am open. I will start with the Chimneys & Cornerstones and get those squares made and then progress with the rest of it. I just have to do the math again to make sure I have enough border fabric. So, that's where I stand. Quilting friends, let me know your thoughts!
