When the husband is away...

there is A LOT more time to sew!
And sew I did!!
(Plus it was too hot and humid to do much outside.)


I bought this kit last year from
Glorious Color and actually forgot about it!




It's a Kaffe pattern made from his striped fabrics and shown in his
Quilts in Morocco book.
There is something about his stripes that I just love.
(But then I am a HUGE Kaffe fan!)


The colors are deeper and richer than the photos show here.


This top went together rather quickly.
I organized each row,
pinned the blocks together all at once and then sewed them.
I didn't need my seam ripper once!
 Woohoo!!

Now to quilt it.
The book has the quilt quilted with simple wavy lines.
I can do that!

Hopefully this will be finished soon
since I have a home in mind already.

Please visit Patchwork Times to see what others are creating.

Happy Quilting!

    I like his stripes, too. Can't handle the flowers, though I'm usually impressed with what others do with them.

    In the thumbnail picture, I thought it was string pieced. What great fabric! The quilt turned out fabulous and I can't wait to see your wavy lines. :)

    I am often tempted by Kaffe's fabric. I love how your quilt looks, and I am impressed you didn't need to use a seam ripper, all those stripes have to go in the right direction.

    Your quilt is stunning! I've started collecting his stripes, I've been collecting his other fabrics for years.

    When I first saw your quilt I thought, what a great man/boy quilt. It is bright and yet not "flowery." That was a lot of seams coming together but it looks perfect.

    You can never go wrong with Kaffe :*). This is simply gorgeous Ramona!!! It makes me want to go pull out my stripes right this minute and make one of my own. Except I don't have enough of just his blue and green stripes to make a quilt. But if I did, I'd probably be cutting like a maniac right now LOL!!!

    Stunning! I have not worked with the Kaffe stripes yet, but I do have a kit I bought that uses them! Nice job.
