Blissful in the Clouds in QUILTER’s WORLD Inspiration for Precuts (Spring 2012)

January 27, 2012 by ivoryspring

Have you seen Inspiration for Precuts, the Spring 2012 special interest publication presented by Quilter’s World?

I am excited that my “Blissful in the Clouds” quilt was selected to be in the special issue:

Blissful in the Clouds originally appeared in House of White Birches’ “Log Cabins Today” last year, and now it makes a second appearance in Inspiration for Precuts.

If you look closely, you can actually see how the blues in the quilt background turn darker toward the bottom of the quilt center.

My kites are made of a combination of log cabins! Gotta love those log cabin blocks, eh?

I used a multi-colored rick rack for the tails of the kites. Miss Baby is really fascinated by the “color-changing” rick rack!

Quilting is in line with the theme. I quilted shapes of clouds in the background.

Inspiration for Precuts has more than 30 featured projects for your quilting pleasure. You may purchase your copy at newsstands, or online (print or pdf). Blissful in the Clouds on page 58.

That’s all for now! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a fantastic weekend! It might be too cold and wet just yet for us to fly a kite where we live, but I do hope to take Miss Baby to a kite festival coming up in our area in a few weeks!

Seeing those beautiful, colorful kites is perfect timing on this rather blustery overcast day- with snowflakes in the air, even! Will have to keep a watch out for that publication!! Lovely quilting as always. Hugs, Doreen

Wow! Just: Wow! What a terrific use of log cabins, and the fabric choices get the greatest impressionist effect. I’m in love! Definitely gotta look up the pub.
