Clattering Noises

 At Project Linus we got a request from a local hospital to provide some adult lap quilts for the spinal unit. I had some not so kid friendly neutral fabrics in my stash and got a nice sky blue solid as contrast. I used the same pattern as for the starry night quilt, but upsized the pattern pieces to get a 50”x60” quilt. I am pretty happy with this one, the gradual ombré effect of the background fabric works well with the blue stars. Donated to project Linus in August 2024.

 It’s not often that I purchase a pattern, but this one intrigued me and I wanted to learn flying geese. The pattern is from the QuiltyLove blog and shop.  This first version was crib side (40”x50”), which made the flying geese pretty fiddly. I had a few black / dark fabrics that I wanted to use up as the backdrop to the bright yellow stars.  I am Semi-happy with this one. The background fabrics are too similar and the middle strip (black and white) looks like a mismatch. Anyway, it’s still a cute quilt for a kid that dreams of being an astronaut amongst the stars.
