Finishing up my Anthropologie-Inspired "Whimsical Rhapsody" quilts
These colors are based on the Anthropologie curtains shown in the last photo. The border fabric is by FreeSpirit, Tina Givens' "Treetop Fancy".
As requested, I made each quilt differently; one has a turquoise border and the other has a black print border. One is machine quilted in sections by me and handsewn together; the other is machine quilted by my new best friend, my wonderful longarm quilter.
I have truly enjoyed working on these, they stretched my creativity because black, mustard yellow, and turquoise aren't my usual pallete; but I love how they've turned out.

For Our Soldiers
I am inviting any of you who are quilters, or who know any quilters/sewers, to join me in making at least 1 star block for quilts for our soldiers.
This is the only block I've pieced so far; I have fabric but not time right now to make more. The deadline for them to get there is May 1st, so I hope to make at least several more.
Blue calico for the star is from my Grandmother; I don't know how old it is, but the texture feels like feed sack material. The white on cream background is from a sheet I bought to use as backing for another quilt.
If for any reason, the link I post up on here doesn't work, and you want to see more about it, do a Google search for "Moda Just One Star" and you will find it.
