I am so happy to be able to finally share this quilt! This is one of my favorite quilts that I made this year, and it is called “Eclipse”. I sewed it last spring but didn’t share the details because it was going to England and is now published in Quilt Now magazine. I think this is a very exciting quilt design because it combines some really fun piecing techniques, including curved piecing, and really pretty fabrics (of course!). It was quilted by the always fabulous Judi Madsen of Green Fairy Quilts.
Update: the Eclipse quilt pattern is available to purchase <<here>>
I started out with a fabric bundle of Joel Dewberry prints, but of course I also pulled lots of my favorite prints from my stash to go with it. Some of these fabrics were a bit of a stretch for me, as they are prints I wouldn’t usually choose, but I kept the faith and went for it. I give a lot of credit to my mom for helping me with this one…she pinned curves for me while I sewed, which sped up the piecing of this quilt tremendously! It also made for a fun visit together.
Happy Christmas week, or whatever you might be celebrating!

Wow that is absolutely stunning! I love the yellow background fabric, I need to use different colors in my backgrounds instead of always going for white/cream/grey/black. Can’t wait to see it in Quilt Now!
This is stunning! How exciting to be in Quilt Now!!! I can’t wait to receive my copy. Congrats Sharon
Wow another fun curvy piece. I love it and love the movement and it looks really complicated. Great job and congrats on the magazine!
