I had the pleasure of getting to pattern test this Gravity Quilt pattern by Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts. When I saw her version of the quilt I was in love with this pattern....I then got this crazy idea to try some of my favorite fabrics with this pattern. I used Tula Pink "Moonshine" and just added a few solids. I did supplement some of the colors with some other lines of her fabrics. I think this pattern looks great in prints too. Julie's was done in all solids. I also switched the color order of the diamonds from the pattern. It's supposed to go dark to light from the center and I just switched it.
Of course, I had to custom quilt this. The quilting on this one took forever....I think I spent a good week on this one. I normally don't spend that much time on one of my own quilts but this one was really special....I knew I needed to take the time. I'm so glad I did.
Thanks for stopping by and thank you to Julie Herman for creating such great patterns for all of us. This is a block of the month pattern that is out now. I encourage you to all give it a try. I look forward to seeing it made up in all sorts of fabrics. Such a fun quilt to make.
Happy Quilting!
Teresa
Just beautiful!

ReplyDeletelucky you - being a pattern tester for Julie would be a real dream come true
ReplyDeleteDO YOU THINK THIS COULD BE SCALED DONE TO USE 5" PRECUT SQUARES? I WANT TO DO A SMALLER VERSION.

ReplyDeleteOh Teresa! This is just incredible, and yes, your abilities are sky high! I may have to buy this pattern.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning quilting! Just completed my Gravity in similar colors as Julie's pattern. Now it looks as though I will have to raid the Moonshine bolts at the shop and cut another one!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is the prettiest quilt ever
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I used to have a couch just like the one in the picture- I loved that couch!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I just picked up a new fabric line I'm in love with - a couple ideas going thru my mind then a friend commented it reminded her of a Starry Night. So, the hunt was on for something outer space/nebula related. Bam!!! I think I found this fabric's journey.
