πŸ’₯ Nova πŸ’₯

I finished binding this quilt at 11:59 PM on December 31, 2017! The pattern is Nova by Gudrun Erla. 

I quilted it with an edge-to-edge called "Verve". Wool batting makes the quilting stand out even more, along with being lightweight and warm:


I took a class at Quilt Cove, where we learned many tips and tricks to making this quilt, one of which was how to use Gudrun's Stripology Squared ruler.

The backing is an Angela Walters extra-wide backing print.

The pattern can be made from 10" squares or yardage. I used stash for the colorful parts and white with grey pin dots for all the light parts. Each block has a mirror-image pair.

Sue and Regina took the class with me. I'm hoping we can have a meet-up in the new year to share our quilts!
  
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

  3. That is one fun quilt! I love the quilt pattern you choose and that you used wool batting. Have you washed a quilt with wool batting. I have one and haven’t tried it yet - its not used - but I should experiment with it. It has always been the reason I don’t use it regularly - interested in your experience.

  4. Wow, this is so gorgeous, I love the way the colors pop against the pattern! How did you like the Stripology Squared ruler? I still can't quite tell the difference between that one and the regular Stripology (which I love).

  11. You ended the year with a big WOW and I'm loving the quilting as well as the prints you used. I also love that you chose a pin dot as your background which I rather use than just a solid white. Gudrun's book has a lot of great patterns. Thanks for sharing!
