Riley Blake Project Tour: Sparkler

Good Morning everyone! 

Today I am sharing what I made with Riley Blake's new line, Sparkler by Melissa Mortenson! When I first saw this line, it made me think of fireworks on a warm summer night. So when I saw the Plaid Flag Quilt designed by my friend Mandi over at Sewcial Stitch, I knew this was the perfect quilt for Sparkler!

 

 Look at all of these beautiful colors with hints of gold and silver sparkles...

You can find the pattern for Plaid Flag here!

And to see closeups of Sparkler check out the storyboard here!

 

 

The Sparkler colors I used for my Plaid Flag Quilt are:

Dark Denim

Redwood

Raspberry

Rose

White 

For the backing & binding of the quilt I used Riley Blake Basics. Patriotic Stars are a perfect match for the backing and for binding I used Red Gingham.

 

 

 I made the Baby size quilt from the pattern. Its the perfect size for beach picnics!

 

 

The free motion quilting was done on the Handi quilter Amara with white thread in a swirly pattern. It reminds me of windy days...

 

 

This is such a sweet summery quilt!

 

I'm trying to hang on to the warm summer weather for as long as I can. The leaves are already starting to change here and the nights are getting cooler. 

 

And once again no quilt photo shoot would be complete without Clarabell!

 

 

💛

Have a happy quilty weekend friends!
