What an honor to be asked by the incredibly talented
Emily Breclaw, of The Caffinated Quilter, to quilt this little lovely. She is an expert piecer that has never met a y-seam she couldn't conquer with ease. Fabulous design, don't ya think?!? Although I do try my best, you can find actual professional photos of her masterpiece in the most recent issue of
Stitch Magazine, The Unofficial Downton Abbey issue.
I used a very traditional stipple over most of the quilt. To give the diamonds movement, I quilted concentric circles and filled the hexagon with pebbles to add a spicy texture. Such a fun quilt to work on! The challenge was keeping my feet on the ground while quilting it knowing it was going to be my first published work!
Now I've got to get my happy little self to the news stand and pick up a copy of
Stitch!
