Another lovely quilt pieced by my customer and friend Laura Grabow; "A Day in Giverny" is a block of the month pattern from This and That patterns using the new Chateau Rouge fabric line from French General. What a perfect quilt to work on around Valentine's Day. The fabric is so warm and happy.....it turned out warm and cozy too with Quilters Dream Wool batting and Glide thread. All of the quilting was done freehand with some ruler work to compliment Laura's piecing.

All of the setting triangles were quilted with double feathers, then outlined with a half-feather
in the red sash. |

| I was really happy with how the corners turned out. |
 |
| Each of the pieced blocks were quilted with a variety of designs with a double loop filler in the red fabric to tie everything together. This also allowed the piecing to 'pop' and show more prominently. |
 |
The cream, red & grey center applique blocks were centered with a fussy cut flower which I pebbled around to create a 'faux trapunto look. The appliqued blossom also appear to be trapunto because of the wool batting and the McTavishing in the background of the block.
I hope you've enjoyed today's quilt. If you'd like to see it in person I've been told that it will be hanging in the Fabric Granary in Hailey. (I believe that they have the block of the month kits available too).
