When I attended my first Quilt Market back in 2012, I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa Lunden, of Lunden Designs. Melissa designs gorgeous quilts, and I've had the chance to test a few of her patterns. The first pattern of hers that I tested was the Star System.
When Melissa sent me this pattern, I knew I had a stack of fabrics that I'd pulled months earlier that would be perfect. Fabrics included Lizzy House pearl bracelets, polka dots, Japanese florals, and Alexander Henry's Heath cross-hatch.
I stuck with simple straight line quilting and backed the quilt with the ubiquitous Ikea numbers print, which I thought tied in quite beautifully with the front. Since the quilting isn't terribly dense, the quilt is quite squishy and soft, perfect for snuggling.
It's listed for sale in my Etsy shop here, along with a few more photos.
Melissa kindly sent me some extra patterns, and I'd love to share them with one of you! For a chance to win both patterns, simply leave a comment below. I'll select a winner at random next Wednesday, July 23. This giveaway is open to everyone!
Your quilt is beautiful. I need to be brave and try y seams also.
ReplyDeleteI have not attempted machine sewn hexagons or y seams either. This looks like a great pattern to learn those skills. Beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeletethe fabrics you pulled for this quilt work beautifully together! congrats on the fabulous y-seam & hexie sewing :)
ReplyDeleteOh I'd love to try these patterns out! Thanks!
ReplyDeletelove the quilt and would love having the pattern
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! Those patterns look great too!
ReplyDeleteThese are some nice samples that you've got here! And such a neat giveaway! I'd most certainly want to have a lot of these around my home. It's great how the colors jump out with life, and how the patterns themselves aid the visual stimulation. That quilt with the scripted writing looks pretty nice as well! Definitely seems like you're enjoying what you do, which always makes for good business!
