The quilt top is made up entirely of Constellations by Lizzy House. I am totally in love with this fabric and I love that she made a print of stars on white so that I could use it as the background.
This is a Thimble Blossoms pattern by Camille Roskelly (link above) and it was written really well! The "fireworks" came together easily after I made the first block and got the hang of it. It did, however, take me 6 hours to sew together two blocks, since I made them two at a time. This is not a fast quilt, but I would say it is rewarding.
For the back I used more Constellations and Timeless Treasure's sketch in navy. I wanted to stick with dark fabric for the back because I want to use this as a stargazing quilt (once the weather warms up again!)
I quilted it in concentric circles and I absolutely LOVE it. I first fell in love with concentric circles when I quilted my Dad's Body and Sole quilt last year. I knew then that I just had to have my own quilt with those circles someday. When I was stumped on how to quilt this quilt, I thought, why not? I used a variegated thread so it shifts from dark blue to light blue to white and I love that!
Here's number two for my 99 in 999 goal number #33: Make a quilt for each month of the year! This one is going to be June. Or May. I haven't quite decided!

Great color combo and I love the quilting. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunner! Definitely worth all the hard work and time that you put into it. I've really loved watching this quilt grow, it must be so exciting to finally have it finished now! This is by far my favourite Fireworks quilt, great job Megan!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! The colors are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI love your color scheme, and the circle quilting really stands out. Congrats on such a beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteAround and around you went with the quilting good for you! I can never get myself to do it on a big quilt lol
ReplyDeleteConstellations line is awesome...great pattern for it too!
Spectacular! Wow...the quilting in circles is amazing! That is a lot of quilt wrestling!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!! And I love how you quilted it.
ReplyDeleteLove it!! I am crazy about those Lizzy House fabrics, too. When I first saw this quilt I was thinking snowflakes, rather than fireworks, since the colors are so winter-y.
