Welcome to Day 6 of the Wake Up to Kona Solids blog hop! A hop focused on quilts made from Kona solids!
Today is my turn at bat and if you make it through to the end of this post, there might just be a wee give-a-way!
First, before jumping in I'd like to thank Madame Samm from Sew We Quilt for organizing this wonderful hop, and Carol from Just Let me Quilt for shaking her pom poms for all of us!
Wake Up to Kona Solids Blog Hop was inspired by the new book Color Essentials by
Amanda Murphy from C&T publishing, as well as Aurifil, and, of course, the lovely Sunrise and Sunset Kona bundles by Robert
Kaufman.
The Kona Solids I went with for my quilt were Amethyst, White and Artichoke, purchased online from Canton Village
Quilt Works.
The pattern I used came from My Quilt
Infatuation's Easy
Peasy Chevron Quilt Tutorial.
I loves me some HSTs and I'd never made them the way this particular tutorial details. I am in LOVE....yes, it takes a bit more time pressing and starching the HSTs because of the bias edges, but it well worth it and creates a beautiful, crisp block.
I also have to stress here that my mind was TOTALLY and COMPLETELY focused on SPRING when I chose these colors and made this quilt. I've had enough of this dreary, snowy, icy weather and needed something bright and cheerful. And without further ado, the quilt I call Chevron Spring Dreams:
