Good morning, my lovelies! I have missed you! These past few weeks have been busy for me with travel, family celebrations, and moving Son-the-Elder into his off-campus apartment at Appalachian State, and as a result I have quite a backlog of quilts to share with you. Today we're looking at two gloriously colorful quilts, both made by my client Ramona who blogs at Doodlebugs and Rosebuds Quilts.
Ramona's Lucky Stars Quilt

First up is Lucky Stars, a pattern by Atkinson design that you can find here on Etsy (this post contains affiliate links). Lucky Stars is a fat-quarter-friendly pattern that is perfect for showing off Ramona's collection of Kaffe Fassett prints and batiks. I love how the sawtooth star blocks are designed so the stars float just within the background fabric -- no risk of losing your star points if your piecing is less than perfect, which makes this a great pattern for beginners, too. I am adding this to my own ever-lengthening list of wanna-make-its! Wouldn't this be great as a baby quilt?

This quilt was unusual for me in that, after some initial back-and-forth with design options, Ramona ultimately left the choice of the quilting design completely up to me and she had no idea how I was quilting her Lucky Stars until it was finished. Ordinarily I consult with clients and make design recommendations, but get their approval on the final selection.
