A Quilting Chick: Supernova Quilt

October 31, 2016

I finished up another WIP!!! This one has been sitting in a drawer for at least a year. But done!! Here's the Supernova Quilt, designed by Freshly Pieced.

This quilt has had quite the journey. At first, my aunt and I were participating in a friendship swap, where we would each make two blocks a month and send one to each other, thus getting two different versions of the block each month.

My aunt went on a sewing craze and made 6 blocks, then decided she didn't want to do this version anymore and just started a new version for her husband's Christmas gift so she gave them to me.

They lingered in a drawer for a long time until I pulled them out last week, arranged them, and put them together, and added a few borders. Done!!!

Glad to have another one done!!! I feel like I've been on a roll lately. Can't wait to share more!

Today I'm linking up with Design Wall Monday at Patchwork Times, Show & Tell Monday at Bambisyr-evaj, Main Crush Monday at Cooking Up Quilts, Love Laugh Quilt for Monday Making, Quilt Story for Fabric Tuesday, and Fiber Tuesday at Quilting Room With Mel. With Sew Fresh Quilts for Let's Bee Social, WOW at Esther's Quilt Blog, and Midweek Makers at Quilt Fabrication.

It is amazing that you only need 6 blocks for this great quilt.

You did a great job. I love how from afar you can really see the two color changed blocks they make it look so modern.

Love your supernova quilt! It reminds me of the old video game Legend of Zelda. I will make one someday!
