Websterquilt: Boho

Thursday, January 24, 2019

For the Getaway Blog Hop I received a collection of fabric called Boho. It's Ebony Love of Love Bug Studios signature collection for Island Batik. I adore all the warm luscious colors of this collection. Since I'm on a getaway, I wanted to sit and stare at a beautiful sunset. That was my inspiration and I put the fabrics in to Electric Quilter and started playing with color placement.

Here is a sequence of making the quilt on a quilt retreat at Gruber's Quilt Shop. The largest shop in Minnesota! I cut all the pieces before hand on my mom's Accuquilt Go Big electric cutter. It's amazing how much time that saves! It was pieced with lots of colors of Aurifil thread to match the different fabrics.

My amazing mom saw the paisley fabrics in the collection and wanted to quilt it in paisleys for me. She used Hobbs 80/20 batting in the quilt. It's awesome. Check it out:

I love the way this quilt sparkles like a sunset on the ocean! I'm giving away four Island Batik fat quarters to some luck winner. To enter simply leave a comment about where you saw your favorite sunset!

Island Batik is also giving away a rainbow of 20 Island Batik Fat Quarter Basics. You can enter with the link below.
