This is a project I started over 20 years ago. Thank goodness, fabric does not have an expiration date. I guess maybe if you are shop owner, you cringe at that statement, as moving out fabric means selling fabric. But, thankfully for us quilters, who are closet ADD folks, we can always circle back around and pluck it off the shelf and start again, right where we left off!
This is a pattern called Radiance, by Judy Curtis. The pattern came out in 1985. I was working at the world"s greatest quilt shop at the time, called Creatively Sew. It was in Old Town Spring, north of Houston. This was a wildly successful quilt shop. When I worked there we sold a lot of material. Of course, this was before the internet, and Houston has a few million people living there, so that helped.
BINDING LESSON:
I chose the dark blue to be the frame for this wallhanging. Whatever color you choose, especially for a wallhanging, it pops out the color on the quilt. I also wanted to emphasize the contrast. I would be a shame to work on such a difficult piece and not be able to see the design, because you didn't choose a good contrasting material.
