And who knew that marsala would be so hot right now?
(...I mean really, aside from Pantone, who? Anyone?) Truth be told, I had my heart set on indigo. But this new furry friend has me all heart eyes over marsala. Marsala marsala marsala! I suppose I can get used to having you around.

| The geese, like the bear, are all pieced from oakshott cottons :: elements and lyon. |
May our little firecracker sleep soundly as the moon rises over marsala mountain...
 |
| This mini 5.25" block is called "Moon Over the Mountain," BB #948. |
And greet each morning with joy as "the sun wakes up."
 |
| The "crown" over the bear's head is a traditional block named "The Sunrise," BB #4098. |
The top is twin-sized (~60" x 80", give or take). The bear block ("big bear") was designed by my talented friend Juliet of Tartan Kiwi. (I blew up her already blown-up block, so my extra big bear is about 40" square.) The two mini blocks (Moon Over the Mountain and The Sunrise) will be available as free downloads in my craftsy shop (as part of the INDEX) sometime soon, in case anyone's interested in those ;o)
Be sure to hop on over to Anne's or Adrianne's to see what the rest of this community has been brewing up with this luscious new reddish-brown hue :o)
This is a truly stunning quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me ridiculously happy when talented people like yourself blow my mind with their amazing interpretations of my patterns and put them in such a stunning context to make a magnificent quilt.
I hope your little girl loves it and sleeps soundly under it (my 4 year old loves his big bear quilt to bits!)
Awesome quilt! I love all the symbolism with the geese and the sun/moon blocks. Gorgeous colors, too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love Juliet's bear and your borders are just a fantastic addition!
ReplyDeleteYour bear is very very cool! Well done!

ReplyDeleteHow is my comment not here? Did I comment somewhere else? I know I nutted about this somewhere because omfg it's amazeballs and I couldn't have possibly just nutted to myself, right?? Cuz omfg this is AMAZEBALLS. The colors are fabulous of course, the use of low volume amazing as always, and all those little piecing details make this as always. I don't even know why I'm surprised anymore since you're always pulling out this crazy good stuff.
