The Summer Gypsy Quilt...

You know that quilt that you stitch that you love as much when you finish as when you started? Well, this is it for me - The Summer Gypsy Quilt:

It goes from pink to red to green to blue:

There's only three triangles of stitchery to complete in the pattern, in Vignette Issue 11, but you could add more if you like or even only do one triangle of stitchery...

I used my favourite Cosmo embroidery threads including a delicious varigated green - 8022:

It's quite a big quilt (perfect to snuggle under on a cool summer's night) at 70" x 80". I used a combination of three fabric ranges:

1. Gypsy Girl by Lily Ashbury printed by Moda

2. Flower Sugar printed by Lecien

and

3. Candy Bloom by Rosalie Quinlan printed by Ella Blue:

Candy Bloom would be perfect to do your entire quilt in, and you might like to add a little Flower sugar too:

The pattern in Vignette Issue 11 also has step by step photos of all the stitchery stitches used:

So you can follow along how I like to Back Stitch, Satin Stitch, French Knot, etc...

Come on Vignette 11 - we are waiting!!
