Finish It Friday: !!!

Awhile back, I received an email from a good friend, asking if she could share my name with Cloud 9 Fabrics as someone to sew a quilt with her daughter's new fabric line, Typography, that daughter being Jessica Jones of How About Orange fame (her blog is no longer active, but there's still lots of cool stuff available on it, and now you can follow her on instagram at @howaboutorange).

Of course! Soon after, this arrived in the mail.

The colors in this line are so pretty, and I'm a total sucker for all things texty and font-related.


Cloud 9 asked me to make a quilt that I believe will be a free pattern available on their website, so I didn't even have to decide what to make. While I had a graphic of what the finished quilt should look like, there was no formal pattern at this point, so I figured it out and made extensive notes.

The block finishes at 14" and is an easy one to make. It involves a simple paper piecing component for the main section that is the body of the exclamation point. Beyond that, the construction is simple and fast.

Next, the quilt top went to quilter extraordinaire, Darby from Quilted Squid, for machine quilting.

The black "helvetica" font print was perfect for the binding.

And it is now on its way back to Cloud 9 Fabrics.

 

It might be in the Cloud 9 booth at quilt market. If someone sees it, I hope you will take a picture and send it to me. :)

It's a great fabric line for bags and other items as well. Look at these awesome projects made by Jessica's mother, Grandma G, a bag making expert!
