** There is a pattern for this quilt here 🙂
I am thrilled to be playing along on the Alison Glass Designs Blog Hop today! We are
celebrating her upcoming release Clover Sunshine this week. I can’t think of a prettier
fabric line that has come along recently. This one is just so…. happy. It’s
absolutely perfect.
The colors are rich and bright and speak to me of fall, but not the pumpkin side so
much as the plums, blue skies, cooler weather and being able to go outside after the
heat of summer and have some fun. I’m so thrilled with how this little baby quilt
turned out. My points aren’t perfect (or even close!) but I had a lot of fun making it.
And I smile every time I look at it. (PS: I
This is Alison’s second full collection. Her first fabric line, Lucky Penny, totally
captured my heart. Her recent Sun Print Basics have flown off of our shelves. If you

makes with it! So, would you like a chance to work with some of these pretty fabrics?

PS: I have all the starflower picture tutorials taken, but haven’t had a chance
to write them up, yet! Anyone want to come wrangle two very energetic children so I
can finish?!
Hi Amanda, I’ve been watching this grow on instagram and I absolutely love it. I love how it goes together but not in a matchy matchy way, and I’m pondering whether I add this quilt to the make list!! I must say, I’m not sure where you live, maybe the UK? but the hills behind the quilt could so easily be anywhere in the south island of New Zealand where I live. It’s not wonder so many folk came and colonised here, the country looks so similar.
ps, I’m debpotteringabout on instagram. I never mastered making all my internet handles the same.
Would love to wrangle those children, but alas! I am so far away. Putting my starflower top together today, so wish me luck!
And I love the way your quilt turned out. No one but you will notice the points. I promise. =)
It’s a very happy quilt!
Your Mom, of course! (And I had that thought as soon as I read your last sentence – LOL.). Like I said on your IG photo, this is happy fabric. Your description is spot on – clear skies & crisp nights.
I would love to come & mind your youngsters, only problem I see is the distance! I love this quilt sooo much! Again congrats
As to the starflowers, I’ve had to stop as we have workman in redoing walls and the mess is horrific so I’ve packed up my sewing! Annoying but necessary.
Wow, those colors! So rich, so saturated, so delicious!
These blocks are so pretty. I am so excited for this collection, my daughter had a fit when she first saw it and I am going to be using some of it to decorate her room.
Hi Erica! I would love to see what you do with her room if/when you do! Thanks so much for your kind words!
I just love your quilt. I’m like you – I much prefer these happy colors for Fall. So pretty!
I’m not sure which is more strikingly beautiful, the quilt itself or the background in the picture. Great work on the quilt, it’s beautiful and very, very happy!
Beautiful quilt and stunning photos!
Very pretty top! Those fabrics are happy and bright! This will be a sweet baby quilt! Great job!
What a pretty, shimmering quilt.
Amanda,
Your quilt turned out beautifully and your points look perfect to me! I am a big fan of Alison’s and can’t wait for those lovely colors to be released. Thank you for sharing your marvelous quilt with us.

Amanda, I love that pretty pattern!! So many points on that quilt but it is gorgeous as all of your quilts are :). Looks like your new place has a very pretty view! I think the kids would enjoy a few laps around the fence!
Just stunning quilt and beautiful pics.Your fabrics combo are yummiest.Have a fun day!
Amanda – Thanks so much for being part of the tour! Love the quilt! Alison
Its a beautiful quilt indeed!
The colors are simply perfect! Love the not matchy matchy choice.
Could you please tell me what pattern you used for the quilt you did with Clover Sunshine? I would love to make this a queen size for my bed.
Good luck with your kids. I have my own two to wrangle, so I know it’s difficult!
a stunning quilt and gorgeous fabrics 🙂
Amanda, this quilt is SO beautiful! I agree with you — it really captures the spirit of fall!
Beautiful quilt, good luck getting the kids wrangled, I have the same problem over here 🙂
What a great pattern!
I think I like Alison’s new line even more than Lucky Penny!
That pattern is stunning in those fabrics!!
