Waiting For the Right Fabrics and NTT

Happy Needle and Thread Thursday, friends!  I have a brand new quilt top to share with you today, and I am so very excited about it.  I designed this pattern over two years ago and at the time, I had a very specific feel in mind for this quilt.  I really wanted the fabrics to have a certain vibe, and I couldn't immediately find a collection that felt right.  So, the pattern stayed in my design folder where I kind of forgot about it for awhile.


When I saw the 365 Fifth Avenue collection by Bari J, I started thinking about a quilt pattern for them, and when I stumbled across this one in my design folder, I knew right away it would be a perfect marriage of fabric and pattern.  Now that the quilt top is all put together, it's clear that it was totally worth the two year wait.

This is move-in week for my father-in-law, so helping him get all settled will be my priority for the next week, but I'm going to get this quilt finished as soon as I can.  After two years, what's another week, right?

Before we party, check out the highlights from last week.  This quilt by Nancy at Grace and Peace Quilting is so lovely.  I can't resist a quilt photographed in a beautiful setting.


This rainbow beauty is by Julie's Quilts and Costumes-


Sandra at mmm! Quilts showed off this fun quilt-


And Nettie Sews and Lucky Quilts linked up this sweet baby quilt-


Okay, y'all!  I can't wait to see what you're working on this week.  It's time to party!

1You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!
2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.
3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link within your

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)

  6. Congrats on your long-awaited, finally finished quilt top, Kelly! I love it! Have you named this one yet (or did I just miss the name in my not-yet-fully-caffeinated morning fog)? I hope all goes smoothly with your FIL's move. Have a great week!

  8. Had to blow this up to sneak a peak - you mentioned snowballs, did you do that for all the corners here? I can hardly wait for the reveal! And the picture at the bridge! Stunning (and I little scary!) And thanks for the lighthearted approach as you move forward one step at a time.
    p. s. I am not a blogger - how do I change the icon?

  10. Your quilt is lovely! Do you have a name for it? Quilting it should be fun. I'm thrilled to have a finish to share, but I'm hoping it's my last finish for 2020. Honestly, I don't need one more quilt!
