FO: Liberty Fabric Night Vision Quilt

FO: Liberty Fabric Night Vision Quilt

Making the scrappy Liberty fabric quilt of my dreams.

On a rainy day, I decided to sort my collection of Liberty fat quarters by color. As I did, I found myself gazing at an array of gorgeous grey-scale prints. Suddenly, I remembered some yardage of a cool-grey Liberty solid that I had bought a while back for a sewing project that never came to be. It struck me then that I had enough of this fabric to create a quilt! I hopped over to my Quilting Pinterest board for pattern inspiration and settled on the Night Vision Quilt by Modernly Morgan. While it's a relatively straightforward pattern, it involves...

It's a relatively quick knit; the pattern...

Quilting: My New Obsession

Quilting: My New Obsession

How it’s come to this.

My very first quilt. It seems I've fallen hard down the quilting rabbit hole. This recent obsession has me reflecting on how I ended up here because it wasn't as simple as flicking on a light switch. No, my friends, it all began a few years ago with just a trickle, but it wasn't until a few months back that the floodgates burst open. And now, here I am, cranking out quilt after quilt. I came to quilting about five years ago. I watched Jaclyn Salem's YouTube Tutorial and thought it looked fun! The first quilt I ever made was...
