My Ruby Star quilt is finished!
I used the Raindrops are Falling on My Head pattern by Willyne Hammerstein from Millefiori Quilts 4.
I've called it Ruby Star because the fabrics are all from Ruby Star Society. I had a lot of fun fussy cutting ice creams, rainbows and birds.
I chose to hand piece my quilt, but there are English Paper Piecing papers available.
Last year I used the same Raindrops pattern to make my Bollywood quilt.
I had a bundle of Ruby Star Society fabrics that I wanted to fussy cut, so I decided to make the pattern a second time and change the direction of the stars. Here's the two quilts together:
Ruby Star is 42" wide x 50" high, so not huge, but once again the size was dictated by the fabrics and the number of repeats in each fat quarter.
I had both of these quilts custom quilted by Rayna Clinton.
I'll be taking this quilt along to my Millefiori Quilts class at Quilt Symposium on Friday 7 October. It's not too late to join us if you live in NZ.
Now it's time for the Peacock Party. What have you been working on this week?
