The Wonky Stars Quilt is one that I played around with for months before finishing. I love the color orange - in all its shades and iterations - so decided to do this  Missouri Star Quilt Company  quilt pattern with a pop of orange and gold. And don't you just love those neutrals? The sharp lines and angles in this quilt are softened by the quilting: swirls and sparkles! Love that gold! I love all shades of orange, but this deep orange-red next to the beige is just beautiful. A good lap quilt looks great on the back of a couch. Quilts warm up a home.  Some serious "wonk" in that wonky star! 🦆 To learn more about this quilt and Diane's other quilting projects, contact her at diane.fitzpatrick@mac.com.

The Ombre Carnival Quilt by V and Co  is a beautiful way for a quilter to experience color in all its shades, tones and vibrancy. Each fabric has a variety of personalities that when all mixed up together along with gold confetti on white make for a super fun quilt to put together. This quilt calls for 20 Ombre Bloom fabrics - my favorites being Cayenne, Slate, Indigo and Persimmon. But if you're into pinks or crazy about deep blues and purples, you're gonna love this quilt. Vanessa Christenson does wonderful things with the ombre concept, giving quilters room for much creativity, while still following a pattern. I used a kit for this quilt and I still felt that I had a lot of decisions that were left up to me. A scrappy binding is always fun! Beautiful quilting by Longarmed and Dangerous , Cleveland.     Aren't the pinks stunning?   This quilt looks beautiful in all lights.   A friend commented that she loved the randomness of the color squares. Mission accomplished!   Go
