Finally completed the Hear Ye, Hear Ye pattern by Wendy Sheppard that I was intending to have done by the 4th. However, it is still July so I am calling that a win. I purchased the pattern from Angie at the Sunflower Quilt Company in Axtell Utah. I called this one "Liberty 1776-2026".
I used assorted fabrics for the stars & bell and the background is Cloud from Riley Blake Designs. I don't usually use a solid in my background but I had the bolt of fabric and it worked for this quilt. The backing is from the American Honor line from Riley Blake Designs. Those stars took a while to complete but it was worth the hours at the cutting board and machine.
The quilt finished at approximately 61" x 77". I quilted it with an edge to edge pantograph called Paisley Sunrise from Quilting Pantographs using Glide thread in the color Linen.
I am currently working on a 3-yard quilt pattern which will not take as long as these stars took to make. Off we go into the quilt studio.
Here's wishing you all a safe and happy summer.
