Clermont Farms quilt

A few posts ago I showed you the quilt  was workimg on for my LQS.  Photography in the morning, before the sun is up too high in the sky, doesn't really capture the colors.  This is the first time I've tried to photograph a quilt outdoors.

Here's a close up of the cornerstones.

And here's a close up of the quilting by a friend with her long arm.

I get the quilt back when the shop sells all the kits.  If you like the pattern, you can find it on the Fabri-Quilt web site.

Yummy! ...Fabric!

Thanks very much to Kelly over at Charming Chatter, the goodie pictured below arrived last week.

 
I knew I wanted to work with Clermont Farms - loved it every since I saw it at Spring Market. I also like the other collections - aren't they classically pretty?

I had promised my LQS owner to make a shop sample from the new Bali Pops but Clermont Farms came in first, which was very good for me.  As much as I like batiks - and I do like them, especially Hoffman - it was quite a lot of  fun to to work with this collection.  Here's a peak of the project - it's being quilted so I shall post a photo later.

Can't wait to see it quilted!

There aren't many patterns for the candy bars.  There is a very simple pattern in the box and then 2 or 3 more that call for 4 candy bar packs (let's not discuss how much extra we all pay for these precutes - you can do the math on comparing the price of yardage, or even charm packs, to candy bars.)  There is one beautiful table topper at modabakeshop.com.  And Jan Patek has designed a cute one for Fall Market to accompany her new line which debuts this week.  Wonder what I could make with a candy bar section and a FQ or maybe two...hmmmm.
