Another finish!!! They're coming thick and fast at the moment.
Yes, I've finished my Shuttles quilt from Kaffe Fassett's Quilts in Morocco book.

| It is square - it was just a bit breezy when I took the photo |
I really went to town when I decided to use Brandon Mably's Jumble in yellow for the borders:
And Philip Jacobs' Feathers in gold on the back:
Never mind the decision to hand quilt it with bright yellow Aurifil thread!
This quilt has wool batting so it's nice and light. I could use it as a lap quilt in the evenings, or put it on a single bed.
My finished quilt is:
61" x 68.5"
155cm x 174cm
I cut my blocks at 7.5" x 4".
So now it's your time to share what you've been working on. Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.

That’s a very beautiful finish, Wendy!! Love the yellow quilting and the bold border and binding!
Up to now I have only used KF and friends fabrics to appliqué with, mayb I should try a plain pieced quilt one day!
Oh Wendy, I so love this. Really want to create one but they are going to put me (probably my kids!) in a loony bin if I start 1 more thing. Wrote it in my book of To Do's...for now. Loving the background & border very much. Susan in Boston
Gorgeous! The yellow thread was the perfect choice for quilting this!
Beautiful, really beautiful! Well done Wendy! I much prefer your restful grey background to the original mixed little triangles, and your yellow quilting is amazing!
You've been so prolific lately! Good on you! I love that you manage to hand quilt your quilts too. It's such a nice feature on an already beautiful quilt design. I'm happy for you to have enjoyed your time at the Symposium too. I don't think many of us have heard of the Twins who entertained you, but it looked like a good time on your IG feed. Now enjoy working on your dodecagons, as I know you will.
Well done on the finish! It's beautiful.
Beautiful! Shows off those magnificent prints so well, and your border choices really shine. I love that Jupiter print you chose for the binding - so versatile it works with everything, including non-Kaffe projects.
Love the hand quilting in yellow! Congrats on the finish!
Another inspiring quilt Wendy. The hand quilting is wonderful and I love how the Jupiter looks for binding. I'll have to remember that although I don't know if I have enough yardage for binding. Hmmm . . . maybe I need to buy more. Always looking for a reason to get more fabric.
Such a beautiful quilt. I love all the colors. The yellow is bright and cheerful and the back is lovely. Congratulations on another finish.
I always like you color choices. Did you use the chocolate aboriginal dots?
Wendy, I just love this quilt. It has inspired me to get my Kaffe's out and start a new project.
This is so bold! Love it! I'm still a big fan of your bright gorgeous yellow border fabric.:)
I love the quilting on this piece. So vibrant.
Fabulous finish! Love all the fabrics used.
I love this Wendy, I think it would be one of my favourite quilts you have made.
Also I've just issued that book from the library - so tempted, but I have no where near enough KF fabrics for this. One day ...
I am usually not a fan of brights in my own work, but this is such a glorious quilt ~ it looks so good!
