Lumiere – OBW #139

When I saw Lumiere by Timeless Treasures, it was love at first sight. Thank you Timeless Treasures for providing me with these beautiful fabrics.

I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies using my First Choice rulers by Studio 180 Design..

From the same 3.25″ strips I made 10″ kaleidoscope Star 60 units using Deb Tucker’s Star 60 Tool.

I wanted the fairy to be gazing up at the moon and the stars, so I made 5″ and 10″ Framed 60 ‘s from the beautiful coordinating fabrics using my Star 60 Tool and the Framed 60 Technique Sheet.

It takes a couple of days designing.

I attached the top section first, then the bottom and the sides. Now to Blur the edges and add borders.

Lumiere measures 64″ x 71″ Quilted with Nine Acres Quilt Batting. While making Lumiere I ket thinking of the song from Pinocchio:

When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires

Will come to you!

Lumiere from Timeless Treasures Un-Boxing

I just received two boxes from Timeless Treasures. One for Dragonfly Mist which has been out for a while and one containing Lumiere.

Terri Butler, my partner in creation already had Dragonfly Mist and now I have it too so we can make a One Block Wonder (OBW) jacket and quilt.

There’s a Bat in the Belfry OBW #89

I have been on a journey this year to see how many stars and shapes I can place in a One Block Wonder.

Timeless Treasures Last Dance

I found this great fabric from Timeless Treasures called “Last Dance”. The Skeletons are about 6 1/2″ tall.

Octagons

Last Dance made some great octagons. I wanted to add a bat in my design also.

Moonlight Flight

My friend and fellow Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor Beth Sidley designs great patterns. I love Moonlight Flight and decided to use her bat for my quilt. You can purchase Moonlight Flight from her Etsy shop Park Bench Designs.

Twisted Wedge

I also wanted to add stars representing cobwebs using the Twisted Wedge Technique Sheet and the Wedge Star Tool. The bat is made using the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star and Moonlight Flight pattern.

You can see how using the lemoyne star quarters fit to makes the bat.

Once I added the octagon corners I could stitch the rows together.

There’s a Bat in the Belfry measures 63″ x 69″

It looks like my bat took flight and spread the cobwebs everywhere!
