Sometimes opportunities come along when working with sponsors to get involved in a really cool project… For aaages I’ve loved the patterns they’ve been making in collaborationg with Art Gallery Fabrics – AGF Stitched – so I was really excited when they asked if I’d like to make their newest quilt pattern, Symphony.
I had been lusting after Charleston by Amy Sinibaldi for a few weeks, so I chose to work with this gorgeous range of fabric to make my Symphony quilt. And I even took a pretty big step, and chose a navy and white geometric print – Marble Stepping Stones – to use as the background. No, I promise no one has kidnapped this neutral solids/linen background quilter, and this isn’t a secret quilty cry for help 😉
Thankfully, it actually worked out, and I love the way it looks! It came together really quickly too. It’s the perfect quilt to sit and chain piece, in fact, I sewed it all up in one day at my guild’s sit and sew day last month! Finishing at 72″ x 72″, it’s great size, too. I’ve got The Row townhouse print for the backing, and the dramatic Nightfall Magnolia for binding, so it’s going to be such a sweet quilt. I think I’ll do a light loopy stipple for the quilting.
You can check out more details about Symphony on the Jolly Jabber, or check out their video on the Fat Quarter Shop’s YouTube channel.

I LOVE your Charleston, too! I’m jealous that you have a whole back of those sweet houses, they were by far my fave (esp the compass!).
I see you live in Japan? I did as a girl! Small world. So glad we “met”
