Fireworks and more!

Have you seen my newest finish? Fireworks was published in Make Modern Issue 59.

Published in MM#59

Fireworks was designed in EQ8 and made using Fire and Ice, an original collection designed by Claudia Pfeil. 

I love this pattern because it is not paper-pieced and requires no special rulers, making it very accessible to quilters of all skill-levels.  

I like big blocks :-)

Made of 12 large blocks, Fireworks finished at 60" by 79". The background and binding is Egg White, an Island Batik Neutral available all year round. The backing is Dove, an Island Batik Basic from the Bodacious Blacks.

Bold and Beautiful

I used variegated thread and my walking foot to quilt squiggly lines in a 2" grid.

And one last picture!

Fireworks!

Issue 59 of Make Modern has several other fabulous patterns and articles. Do check it out.

In other news, I have completed my Aquamarine (Teals and Turquoises too) Hexie Blocks for July's Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Here they parade for your approval :-)

All scraps are Island Batik fabric. It is good to be an ambassador :-)  

Speaking of ambassadorship, I just received the Summer precut (10" squares) and matching yardage.

I will be sharing with Angela's and all my other favorite linky parties, see full list on the sidebar. 

I will return next week with the Island Batik August Challenge - Marvelous Minis!

Please stay cool and hydrated.
