the big reveal...

It is finally here. I literally grew two human beings in my body in less time than it took this quilt to get from the design stage to publication.  So glad to be able to share with you guys at last.

You can head on over to McCall's Quick Quilts to see my helix quilt (renamed "Baby's First Christmas" for this issue.  They have done a mock up in traditional boy colors and traditional girl colors as a web bonus...that was really fun to see!

For fun I want to show you guys a couple of photos I took during the process.

This is my photo I took before I sent it off.
Here is my happy pile of American Jane squares and Half Square Triangles.

Here is the fabulous tulip quilting (unfortunately not done by me!)

Subscribers should already have their copy.  If you are interested in picking one up, they should definitely be in stores the first of November. 

Soooooo...what do you guys think?

  4. I love this quilt! Congratulations! And I love even more the fact that it's made out of American Jane - my favorite too! I loved the interview with Sandy Klop. She is the bomb.
