Welcome back for one more day of Abstract Garden fun! Today we're sharing a virtual trunk show of Christa's quilts made using her Abstract Garden prints. Sit back and enjoy!
This quilt was a challenge to myself—I wanted to create a diamond shape that didn’t require any special templates. The “diamond” is the shape you get when you put two half-square triangles together, but I figured out a way to cut the shapes without having the seam between two half-square triangles. Each version uses only five prints.

Lattice Work
This is a charm pack quilt. If you want to put all the
fabrics in one quilt, this will look really great! Little black lattice strips
separate the squares, like stained glass. Then I used a gray print from
Fandangle for the border. |

Quilt detail:
Pieced Primrose
I wanted a design that would emphasize all ten cool prints
or all ten warm prints. This is a paper pieced pattern. I know a lot of people
have a love-hate relationship with paper piecing. I had the original idea for
this quilt five years ago and have been waiting for the right fabric to release
it. The pattern includes a full-size template that can be printed off as many
times as needed.

Blooming Wallflowers
I really wanted to create a gradating rainbow effect in this
quilt. The hardest thing for me was not including all of the fabrics from the collection.
The quilt showcases just 12 out of the 20. The background is the navy from
Modern Marks, and it sets the colors off really well.

ReplyDeleteA GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
DeleteAm so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
