Reminds me of warm spring days with a slight breeze in the air:
This is the newest addition to the studio. I had a blast making it. I love all the different colors and how they all combined together to create different wheels:
The back repeats the spring wheels:
Don't you just love that pretty and playful Starling fabric? There's some in the front and the back of this quilt - adding a whimsical touch:
Binding is from the Peaceful Planet line from Studio E:
This is quilt #1 of 2 Spring Wheels. For this one I decided to use a free form quilting style. It adds a whimsical feel to the quilt and make each of the part of the quilt flow into the other. I love how it adds a consistent texture to the whole quilt. I'm working on quilt #2 now - it has more of a structured straight-line quilting style. I can't wait to see how the two differs once it's quilted :). I'll share #2 as soon as it's done. For now I am enjoying looking at #1.

I worked so hard on a quilt that I'm super happy with, but I haven't posted about it on my blog because I my pictures just didn't do it justice... thanks for the inspiration!
