Say hello to Forget Me Not.

The issue focuses on "Modern Quilts with Classic Roots" and I am thrilled to be a part of it.

Made using the fabrics from the Original Aurora Collection (by Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design), Forget Me Not finished at 76" by 100". The background is Glaze (Island Batik Neutral).
Forget Me Not uses one block, strip-pieced that creates a lovely secondary design when the blocks come together.

I am loving the gentle progression of blues and secondary designs in purple and green.

The batting is Hobbs Cotton/Polyester Blend. I quilted using my Walking Foot, following the grid in my favorite squiggly stitch. Why do I use it all the time, you ask. Because it is so forgiving. When the seams are not perfectly matched the squiggle brings them together.

A large quilt, Forget Me Not needed two people to model it.

| Two Model Job |
Here they are. They are my friend's kids and they were properly compensated for their efforts.

| My quilt models |
 |
| Love you both! |
And one last look, with my favorite model. He is speaking! Seriously, this is a silent role. My quilts do the talking.
 |
| Thank you, Paul! |

| Sky, 33" by 36" |
At 33" by 36", Sky will most likely go to Premie Baby Quilts donation for the Inova Hospital in Fairfax.

Cute and bright giraffes on the back should fascinate some little guy!

Congratulations on the publication and another beautiful quilt. Sending you love!
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for this community of loving, encouraging people too. Congrats on the publication of your pattern. It's a beauty in any colors but WOW! These batiks are just perfect. It feels like spring.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this quilt, just beautiful! Congratulations on being published in Quilter's World. I'm glad you are finding time for quilting even though your new job requires a longer commute. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful take on the traditional Irish Chain! Suishy hugs back at you;)
ReplyDeleteLove and squishy hugs right back to you, Preeti! Forget Me Not is a beauty - I love those pretty colors. You are a master of taking a simple design and making an amazing design out of it. I like your favorite quilting design, too - I use it a lot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful interpretation and finish! Your green blocks are lovely too!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeletethat is a gorgeous quilt and such pretty colors. These are strange times and I keep looking back wishing things were as they had been and will it ever change - Please let that happen
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely quilt, Preeti. Congratulations on another publication! The colours are gorgeous...I always love your bridge photos :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt. Thank you for posting. sueclive@aol.com
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published again. Forget Me Not looks like a cozy, peaceful place for a snooze or a dream. Loving those green blocks and especially that batik pinecone fabric.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a crazy world. Squishy hugs to you.
Congratulations on another published quilt pattern. It's beautiful. So are your green RSC blocks. Hope you have time for more stitching this spring.
ReplyDeleteWow!! My favourite colours in such a beautiful design — love it. And she looks gorgeous in that magazine — congratulations! Love your work! ~Diana K.
ReplyDeleteP.S. as soon as I saw your drool-worthy “Forget Me Not” quilt, I thought “Preeti is an amazing Island Batiks Ambassador. People at the top of that company must be patting themselves on the back for choosing her!” :-)
DeleteCongratulations on having Forget Me Knot published. It is a Preeti classic. How did you hear my question about the squiggle line quilting? I would have called it serpentine. Now I understand your penchant for it. The Aurora collection is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely quilt, Preeti, and some gorgeous GREEN blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhere can I purchase your Forget me Knot quilt? It is so BEAUTIFUL, and I love it.
ReplyDeleteDaiseyB you are a No-Reply Blogger and I don't have your email. That is why I am responding publicly. You can buy the Quilters World Spring 2026 Issue for the Quilt Pattern. The physical quilt is not for sale.
DeleteI keep forgetting about the squiggle stitch when I get out my walking foot. That would solve my problem of "not so in a ditch stitch" that I end up with. You are right, it's longer - since 2016. Covid19 exacerbated it. All based on the greed of a few. There's only money for their agenda, stolen from the better causes we taxpayers prefer. I keep thinking their individual greed will make it all implode but in the meantime We the People must do what we can for our democracy. My peace comes from my quilt creation and you inspire that for me.
ReplyDeleteAhhh so beautiful and so peaceful. Your quilt models in training were wonderful... but the Seasoned Quilt model speaking - oh my ( too funny) This is a beautiful quilt - you are a talented designer
ReplyDeleteLove Forget Me Not but have to say that Sky is my favorite! Might be because I always admire your patterns - or maybe because I’m getting my first grandbaby this summer and it’s a BOY!!
ReplyDeleteMight need to make that one for the little guy.
XO and squishy hugs back to you - Diane
Such pretty colors! And your usual genius for making something complicated much easier!
ReplyDeleteJust so in love with your beautiful quilt. Congrats on the finish!
ReplyDeleteHi Preeti, that an amazing quilt! I love that gradation of blues and purples also! Your baby quilt is cute. Thanks for linking up to I Quilted This!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful quilt from Preeti. I keep postponing the start of Veronica. But it is going to be started soon. I even have ideas for the fabrics! You truly are an amazing designer and quilt maker.
ReplyDeleteThis new pattern is beautiful, congratulations for being published and bravo to the young and less young helpers! I feel like I'm looking at a field of flowers, such a lovely quilt. Pretty baby quilt too! Thnak you so much for sharing your wonderful work and linking up. Warm hugs.
