Simply Sparkly Quilt Finish

Simply Sparkly Quilt Finish

There is joy in finishing a project started long ago. One perhaps you didn't know the intended recipient, and felt no great pressure to complete. This artsy, ombre quilt came together in March of 2023, and then it languished. It needed a special someone, and I kept thinking a teenage girl or perhaps a bit younger would love it. I knew none, and so it settled into the unfinished pile.

Simply Sparkly Quilt Top

Simply Sparkly

This is a free quilt pattern available at Robert Kauffman Fabrics designed by Kay Koeper Sorenson. It has the vibe of a Gees Bend style housetop quilt, or that same style you see in many Nancy Crow quilts. 

Nancy Crow lives in Baltimore, Ohio, while Lunn Studios is just south of her. Some of her earlier pieces were made with their hand-dyed and surface manipulated fabrics. The fabric featured in the pattern is Pointillist Palette by Lunn Studios, coincidentally, and shows an ombré effect. One of my year's goals is to use fabric that's been aging in my studio, and free up space. This was an ombré yardage bundle I purchased from Craftsy years ago when they had the Boundless line.
