Window Dressing was published in March 2023 in Make Modern Issue #51, in the category of Prints Charming! I smile every time I read that :-)
Made with Ruby Star Society Fabrics (Reverie by Melody Miller) provided by Moda, it is a simple design that exploits the value gradations for maximum effect. Put another way, the Prints Charming did the heavy lifting and I gathered the compliments :-)

For some reason, the blog publication of this quilt slipped through the cracks. But here we are now.
Window Dressing finished at 60" by 80", making it a perfect size for lap/throw/picnic and even Mercyful Quilts. The simple pattern uses black and white solids in alternating blocks, highlighting the changing values.

As a model-photographer team, our roles are reversible. If it is a larger quilt, it is practical for Paul to be the model and if it is a smaller quilt, I like to smile from behind it, while he takes the pictures.
I took Window Dressing to Berlin, MD for our Christmas mini vacation. On a particularly cold morning, as Paul wanted to sleep in and I was itching to get out and take pictures, this happened.

There is more than one way to model a quilt :-D
The low sun lit our room beautifully, with ample opportunities for indoor pictures.

| No, I do not belong in the closet! |
There was a a small reading nook/snack area just outside our room. It provided a perfect staging area for the quilt.
