+ Two Extra Days (20th and 21st!)
What a great and amazing combination for a blog hop:
Amanda Murphy
Robert Kaufman Kona
Aurifil
AND
Madame Samm at Sew We Quilt!
Amanda Murphy's new book, Color Essentials, is just full of fun and creative ideas for quilts.
There are lots of really beautiful patterns.
Her directions are clear and precise.
The photos are gorgeous.
The ideas she shares are so helpful.
Whoa...am I gushing a little too much?
Well, so be it because I just loved her book!
In case you've never heard this from me before, I'm just awful at following patterns. With that little problem hanging over me, I took on the challenge and picked out one pattern from the book to follow exactly. Guess what...I did it!

"Make an easy, unique quilt using just one fat quarter bundle.
Change the background fabric to create a unique look."
The colors are so vibrant and the purple in it was a wonderful bonus for me.
Once my quilt top was finished, off it went to
Quilted Works for them to do their beautiful work.
They used a geometric design and a very light purple thread.
Tada!

A view of the stitching
With some leftover pieces of fabric from the fat quarter bundle, I made a simple baby quilt and did some embroidery quilting on it using my machine's embroidery module. It was such a fun way to finish a quilt!
