Sparkle Plenty

Today I made the last stich on the Sparkle Plenty quilt... Or should I say the first of them. I definately see more Sparkle Plenty in my future. (in fact I already started cutting another for my oldest son - I hope to have it finished for his Birthday in early January).

A few fact about this one:
  • It's 180x180 cm (app. 70 x 70 inches)
  • It's made from the Sparkle Plenty pattern (I enlarged the blocks slightly)
  • It's made of various green scraps and the solid is Moda Snow.
  • The border is Meadowsweet by Sandi Henderson
  • I started this quilt in November (but worked on several other projects while doing this)
It is one of my all-time favourite quilts. The star is a classic design but overall this quilt stands out as very modern. Later today I'm going to drive by my friend Susans house to give it to her. She is a fantastic woman and deserves a fantastic quilt.

    I bought this pattern after seeing your version of it, and I think when I make it I might steal your idea and quilt it the same way. I LOVE the way you made it bigger. It is absolutely beautiful!

    Love this!! After looking at the pattern I how you changed the size of the block to make it bigger. I would love to make this but 48 inches squares isn't big enough for me!
