I am joining Jessica Dayon on a book blog hop
for her new book, Seasons to Taste.
I received an advance copy and had a hard time picking which one to make. I choose Sunkissed. I love the yellow and white but
how could I scrap it up some?
I knew the colors I wanted to use, so I started with scraps from one of my quilts in Sisterhood of Scraps and combined them with a quilt that will be in Scrap School this Feb. Pulling these fabrics was fun to think about and how different they look with a few added fabrics.
Originally some of the colors I added were a little out of my comfort zone but they added some “clash factor” took on a life of their own.
Even the trimmings look dreamy!
Adding Low Volume for backgrounds and sashing allowed me to do a deep dive into my fabrics and include a huge variety of lights.
And while I was at it I had fun creating a pieced back.
Maggi Honeyman worked her magic on the quilting!
In case you missed it here are the other people on the blog hop.

I love it! It doesn’t even look scrappy. You did a beautiful job, Lissa.
Thank you so much. I added some Ruby Star and stretched my color palette.
What a fascinating combination of colors. Lovely!
To my eye, this version is the winner. Fortunately, we all get to make our quilts the way we like, but gosh I like this.
Hi Lissa. WoW so uniquely pretty. BTW – I love your Blog! I have a question that I hope you can answer. I starched (I do the spray it until soaked and hang to dry method) some gray on black Moda crossweave and as it dripped dry the drips were red (and quite a bit) and the fabric dried to have a purple tint and lost it pretty silver gray look. I am not a prewasher. This is my first use of the crossweave and I was really surprise by the total change in the fabric’s color after being starched. I know a lot of quilters are loving the crossweave and I have found no mention of it bleeding red or changing color. Since starching it I have not washed it .. I guess that is what’s next. Have you had this issue with the Moda crossweave? Thanks, Rene’
Rene,
I will check in with the design department and see if they have heard anything like this. I do know that ovens which is the process that Crossweaves are created do not go through a final finishing step. In case the design crew needs more info can I give them your email?
Yes, please do. thank you Lissa.
I thought I replied last week, but I don’t see my reply (maybe replies don’t show) so at the risk of a double reply …. I have replied again. sorry if this is redundant.
