Instructions

This is a paper pieced pattern.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Women

Style: Traditional


Materials

Kaffe Fassett quilting fabrics and one cotton batik.

What was your inspiration?

Pink is one of my most favorite colors and when you couple it with green, it just sings. I knew I had to make a quilt with these two colors and Kaffe Fassett was my answer! Bold prints really make this quilt sing, these colors also remind me of all the beautiful blooms that you see in the spring!

What are you most proud of?

The colors that I chose for this quilt and that I teach this.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be innovative with your color selections for this quilt, it will make it shine!

Now I clicked on closeups to SEE that the center are is pale pink with white ovals, NOT white as the larger photo appeared on my monitor. Yes, "In Love With Pink" is an apt title for your award-winning entry, Jackie.

Yes, this print is one Kaffe Fassett's Aboriginal Dot patterns. I use them often as backgrounds in my quilts.

Your Spring Fling is so deserving of the PRIZE! BEAUTIFUL vivid colors & patterns for a uniquely designed quilt. What an excellent bedcover to highlight a bedroom. I think the center motif with the white semi-rounded area trimmed in long sun-rays is especially stunning with the patterned fabric you selected. A LABOR OF LOVE, indeed, Jackie!

This is stunning! I do not have much experience with paper piecing, but am inspired to try it again. I love Kaffe Fassett fabrics and the pink and green just pop. Congratulations on a beautiful quilt!

Thank you so much!! Paper piecing is my favorite way to piece. I have been doing Judy Niemeyer patterns for a while and in July will be one of her National Certified Teachers! Of course, I had to do a few of her patterns in Kaffe as I love them too and stock TONS in my online shop. They are always at my finger tips. But I knew that it had to be pink and green, one of my favorite color combos! Thanks again for your kind compliments!
