Vintage Quilt Revival

Today I'm sharing my fourth quilt from Vintage Quilt Revival, the Cosmos Baby Quilt. This quilt has a special place in my heart because it is the first quilt I made for the book. In fact, I made it about 2 years ago when Lee, Katie and I were writing the proposal in preparation for submitting it to Interweave. We each wanted to include not only a sample chapter but also a finished project. (Plus all the designs for the rest of the quilts in the book).

This star is actually an unnamed vintage block (more details in the book), but I started affectionately calling it "the original wonky star". I love that it has the styling of piecing you see in the Modern Quilting movement, but it's really quite old. This block is a great skill builder, using both paper piecing andpartial seams. (I hope that doesn't scare anyone away! It's really not hard at all.) I quilted it with wavy lines using running stitch on my machine (Bernina stitch #4) and max out the width and set the length to 4.0. I used my walking foot while quilting.

It's been fun to watch the book pop up on Instagram and online. I've shipped out several but still have more available in my shop! You can also find it now shipping from Lee, Katie, The Intrepid Thread, Fat Quarter Shop, Barnes and Noble, Walmart. STILL waiting on Amazon to ship and list theirs. Oh! And we just heard from the first person that saw the book in a real life shop, on a display stand! So that's exciting. :)

I hope you all are having a wonderful time getting ready for the holiday season. I'll check in again next week!
