Bricks & Stones - Quiltville Pattern
#32
Oh my gosh... that's the prettiest "take" on that pattern that I have ever seen! I love what you did with the food fabrics paired up with solids or semi-solids. It's gorgeous.
I've been saving food fabrics for a Mason jar quilt, but now you have given me another idea! Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt and I'm glad your health is better!

I can't take all the credit for the quilting as I use robotics. Everything was going smoothly on this quilt till I got to bottom and found fullness in the side borders. I tried steaming them out with a little success but not enough so finally had to do the "OH NO!!!!" and put a pleat to take out the fullness. I rigged it up so one of the border design lines went right over the fold lines so it just looks like a seam instead. Used Elmer's Glue to tack it down instead of pins. I have to really look for it now so I guess it worked. Got this idea from a Youtube video by Sandy Aulranch in case you want to check it out. Here is the actual quilting layout I devised using ProQ Designer program.

Absolutely gorgeous! I too like all of Bonnie Hunter's patterns but your combination of vegetables and solids with the Black and White 4 square is lovely. Just love the pumpkin boarders. Thank you for sharing.
