It's time for Project Quilting Season 16 -- hosted by Kim @ Persimon Dreams and Trish @ Quilt Chicken.
Project Quilting is six themed challenges over 12 weeks. The theme is announced at 12:00 noon on Sunday, and you have until 12:00 noon the following Sunday to link up a project that you made during the week.This week's theme was Ombre. I've been wanting to try a tutorial by Sarah @ Sarah Goer Quilts for some time, so this was the perfect opportunity.
I've been using Wonderfil DecoBob 80wt thread for piecing. I thought I'd try it for free-motion quilting on my Babylock Accomplish. I used Dove Grey, and it melted into the fabric. I will definitely use it again.
Kona colours: Sea Mist, Ice Frappe, Julep, Aloe, Cypress, Kale, Enchanted, and Spruce.
Pattern: Ombre HST tutorial by Sarah Goer Quilts
Size: 28 x 36 inches
Started: January 22, 2025
Completed: January 25, 2025
Techniques: machine piecing, HSTs
Quilting: free-motion quilting on Baby Lock Accomplish
Fabric: Kona Sea Mist, Ice Frappe, Julep, Aloe, Cypress, Kale, Enchanted, Spruce
I always use my Bloc Loc rulers to trim my HSTs. I cut 4.5-inch squares as I didn't have enough fabric to cut 5-inch squares as suggested in the tutorial.
I found a green/teal print in my stash for the back and made a scrappy binding.

I love it! What a nice surprise to find my pattern in the linkup. What’s funny is that it wasn’t until I was linking up my finish that it dawned on me that I could have done this design for the challenge. I love the colors you chose!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finish. I will have to look up that tutorial! I'm so impressed with anyone who takes the prompt and finishes a QUILT in only a week.
