Friday Finish-Queen Size

I finished a queen size quilt top this week. I have been working on this for a bit. It's not that it was hard to piece, just the size that made it take awhile. This is the top for a wedding quilt for my daughter and her new husband. I am very excited to see this one done.

 This was a few weeks ago. I am using the Concerto pattern by Alyssa of Pile 'O Fabric. Her pattern company is called Aria Lane. I fell for this pattern when I first saw it and was just waiting for the perfect time to make it. I did make one change to add one more color than it called for. My daughter requested autumn colors as that is their favorite season.

 And here it is, a bit wrinkled, but all assembled. Since this beauty is so big, I am going to have my favorite long arm quilter do the quilting. My daughter requested a leaf pattern for the quilting, which I will honor, but with a bit of a twist. That is a surprise.

Once the quilting is done, I will be back to show it off to you. Have a great weekend. Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts for Friday Finish.

Sunday Stash #10

I got just a couple of new things this week.  I am planning a wedding quilt for my middle daughter and she loves fall colors. I wanted to make something modern using fall colors and I am going to use mostly Kona solids, so I had to start getting some of them. Sorry the pics are not brighter, but cloudy and rainy is the order of the day here.

This is the pattern and the first of the fabrics. The pattern is Concerto by Aria Lane, a pattern company that was started by Alyssa Lichner of Pile O' Fabric. I fell in love with this quilt when I first saw it and am so happy to have a reason to make it now. I still need to work out what other fabrics I want to incorporate. The pattern and fabrics came from Christa Quilts. Colors are lipstick red 1194, orange 1265 and Canary yellow 26.
Next, I was blog reading and saw an adorable quilt by Allison of Cluck Cluck Sew using this sweet goldfish fabric by Timeless Treasures. I fell in love with it. It is actually a brighter white background.

I scoured the internet and found it at Fabric.com. They are out of it now, so I am thinking I am not the only one.  I bought a yard to use in a baby quilt. Allison has a great pattern that she used this in, but I haven't quite decided if I am going to use that pattern or another.
Here is the fabric I pulled from my stash to go with this one:

         This is the complete pull, for now. I may add or subtract. Still thinking on it.

 Some Sweetwater, Squared elements, Emily Herrick, Malka Dubrawsky and some older blues.

        Some Pearl bracelets, Denyse Schmidt, Alison Glass, and Laurie Wisbrun.

                                 These are the darker blues I chose.

And this is an older batik that I have used pieces of in many things. It is a bit hard to tell, but the dots in it range from a yellowish orange to a darker red orange. I have always loved it and it will be perfect in this.  Linking up to Sunday Stash.
