Bloomsbury Gardens in Progress

I was a little undecided on what to do with my bundle of Bloomsbury Gardens fabric but eventually decided to go with a traditional design to highlight the beautiful colors and in particular the gorgeous floral prints.


I have alternated a printed fabric square with a Snow Ball Block.   It was really easy and relaxing sewing although I had some issues pressing the little triangles.  It took a little more than usual effort to persuade the seams to be pressed into a crisp clean lines.  More steam!  


However, the quilt top came together really beautifully and any doubts that I'd had about the layout and the effect soon disappeared.  I have used Robert Kaufman Kona WHITE as a background fabric.


Next up:  backing, basting, quilting, binding!  It's going to be another busy weekend.

Thank you for stopping by,
Rita
