Back in September I visited family in Florida - and while there, went to my favorite US quilt shop "
The Quilt Place". It's a dangerous place for me, as I tend to lose control in quilt shops - and this one is a doozy.
They had an amazing quilt made with this panel hanging in the shop:
The panel is Hoffman Fabrics' "Super Nova" - measuring 43" x 44". The one I saw had the panel cut into 9 equal blocks and then set in "Attic Window" blocks - giving an overall mind-blowing 3D vision.
Well I just had to make one of these, so I got my Quilt Wizard software out and started playing around with designs. First I came up with this:
But then decided to try maroon instead of the grey - and yes... this works much better.
The software dictates the size of the "window ledges" in the block
(the black and maroon strips inside the light grey frames). I am changing that, going with ledges that are only 3" and take up a smaller percent of the window blocks.
So far, so good! I've got a design. The finished quilt will be fairly large - mounting it on the longarm may be a bit tricky, but we'll see!
