It's been quite awhile since I had a Friday Finish! Actually this is the first one I'm posting for 2016.
When I received two charm packs from Lecien Fabrics'
1000 Colors Collection, it took awhile to decide what to make. And then my friend,
Elizabeth, came up with a really great design, which she ultimately named Semaphore. It was absolutely perfect for the charm squares, and she let me use the pattern for these fabrics. Lecien also sent a hand-dyed sushi roll of
Island Style. This comes in an array of really beautiful and rich colors, and that is what I used for the little squares.
I had Darby use a wavy pattern for the quilting. I liked the idea of semaphore flags waving in the breeze, aboard a ship. Anyway, I think the quilt design really complements all the half square triangles.
I believe that Elizabeth will be writing a pattern for this quilt. I think it lends itself to nearly any kind of fabric. Wouldn't it be sweet in some soft florals and a nice pastel? It's a great pattern for those charm packs you have been collecting!
I seemingly never get tired of using our backyard
storage shed cottage for photo ops.
