I do love puzzles, word puzzles, number puzzles and tessellating star puzzles, I call this quilt
Dragonfly Dance. The stars are cut from two bales of Merryvale fabrics. (
click for and explanation of Merryvale) The entire quilt was arranged on my design wall before any parts were sewn together then kept in order. (
click for sewing tutorial or click on tessellating star in the label section) The yellow and lavender swirl through the center of the quilt like a well choreographed dance to direct the viewers eye. There are only a couple blocks that could be switched in the quilt and not change the stars. I free motion quilted it on my Bernina with loops, dragonflies and echo quilting. I practiced the dragonflies on paper with pen then on the machine with paper and no thread until my eyes, hands and brain memorized how to sew a dragonfly then practiced on scraps before working on the quilt. I hand dyed the back of the quilt. Enjoy all the beautiful quilts at Amy's Creativeside
