I picked up the pattern to make the Star Storm Quilt by Victoria Findlay Wolfe at the Annapolis Quilt Guild show Quilts by the Bay earlier this year. It has been sitting on my cutting table just waiting.
This past weekend I pulled out the stack of 1930s reproduction prints, some coordinating solids, and got cutting. First I cut and taped the paper pattern, then the fabrics.
The pattern is clearly written and states exactly what you should cut. Since I pulled fabric from my collection, I was short the yardage required to get the exact cuts, but I managed to piece together the pieces to make up what I needed.
I managed to get half of the units pieced, though not trimmed. I'm super excited about how this one is turning out. Plenty left to do but it's going to be great!
I was introduced to
Victoria Findlay Wolfe when I saw a couple of her earlier quilts in a quilt show. I discovered her website and bought her book
15 Minutes of Play. It was a great introduction to made-fabric, a thing I did before I knew there was a name for it. I've made so many quilts using some of the concepts she used for her early quilts.
