GE Class Pack 2

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, wherever you live!!! I love this reminder to be thankful every day!!!⤵️

Now on to quilting!!! Gudrun @ GE Designs has a 2nd class pack--two quilt patterns with video instructions! She suggests to make both quilts out of 12 half yards. I wanted my quilts made out of different fabrics, as you can see below!!! ⤵️ One is very soft and one is very bright!!!

Quilt Info #1:

Maker: Me!

Villa Rosa🌹White Cloud

I was inspired to make this quilt after seeing the original in the Villa Rosa Designs booth at the Minnesota Quilt Show in June! The pattern reminded me of some Japanese fabrics I had that would look great featured in this design!!!

🌈RSC Fill-Ins

October's Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) is light neutrals or assembly. Instead I worked on filling in colors so I have 60 blocks, enough for two throw-size quilts. I'm doing 6 x 6 postage stamp blocks using 2 1/2" squares from leftover bits as I'm cutting out quilts!

Here are my individual blocks, seven total this month. Check them out--I always enjoy hearing if we have any of the same prints!!!

🪨Petra Quilt🪨

Jessica Rose of Quiltd Studios, designed and named this quilt pattern "Petra", and writes the following: "Petra was inspired by a hike through the mountains of Sicily. Atop one high mountain are the ruins of Greek temples dedicated to the ancient gods. The Greek influence in the Mediterranean Islands is often forgotten, until today!"

I was one of eight members of her "hype team" on Instagram for the Petra Quilt pattern that released on July 21, 2023. You can see some of the quilts representing the Petra Quilt on Instagram at the hashtag, #petraquilt. (Thanks to the Insta algorithms, they don't all show up!?!)

5 Quilts✋

Here are three quilts from Susan, featuring her usual creative panels, and Lynn, with a couple of gift quilts!!!

🌈RSC Teal🩵

Do you know the difference between teal and turquoise? I'm pretty vague on it, but I found a definition on the internet that said: "Teal is a dark greenish-blue color while turquoise is a lighter greenish-blue color."

Then there's aqua!!! "Aqua is lighter than both teal and turquoise. Turquoise is basically a darker versions of aqua, while teal is even darker still, and also has more green." Got it?! Hopefully I can remember it now!

September's Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) is teal! I'm including turquoise and aqua in these blocks, too! I'm doing 6 x 6 postage stamp blocks this year, using 2 1/2" squares, mostly from leftovers bits as I'm cutting out quilts!!!

Here are my individual blocks. Check them out--I always enjoy hearing if we have any of the same prints!!!
