    Default Twinkle Twinkle AKA Glitter Sky

    Hi friends, I shared that I was published a few days ago. So you can see the quilt in the magazine....is very soft, elegant fabrics because the magazine chooses the fabrics and "theme" that they want. I however wanted my version to look different and reflect my own style. So I made my own version using American Made Brand solids. I live in WA state ( where they are manufactured or warehoused or whatever) and I want to support an American brand as much as I can But I also happen to really love their colors. ( No affiliation with the company). The magazine named the quilt TWinkle-Twinkle but I named it Glitter Sky. So I quilted this bright colored one with an all over design since I wanted to show versatility. The more elegant version got a ton of custom quilting. It's not back from the magazine yet...so I can't show you a side by side. But I did include a digital mock up of the more subtle version on the post so you can see the different in style. They are both great....sometimes I just lean a little more to the modern side.

    Both are stunning quilts with their own style. That is what is fun about choosing fabrics to make your quilts reflect your personal taste or go with your decor. I absolutely love the bright colors you chose and the quilting really pops in Glitter Sky! Thanks for showing us the 2 styles. Do you have a favorite batting?

    This is fabulous (both versions but I think I like the bright solid one a little bit better)! Did you use EQ to design it?
