I have been working along on a pattern call the Gypsy Wife by Jen Kingwell. You can read an interview with Jen
here. I thought the pattern was relatively new but this pattern has been around for a while (since at least 2014) and there have been several quilt-alongs. No matter...I've been enjoying the construction of the quilt and rather than use random scraps as depicted on the cover of the pattern book, I've been working with a blue and orange colour palette.
Quite a number of the fabrics are from my stash, but then there are some new ones added in for a bit of spice. This is what I've managed thus far.
The quilt is sewn in sections and there are two more sections to go. The last two sections (which are missing right now) will show more orange striping in the background and merge together in the middle of the top. I'm hoping the transition from blue to orange in the background will be more noticeable when the top is complete.
Till the next time.

Love to see that you’re working on a Jen Kingwell quilt! Your colours and fabrics look awesome and so does your quilt section. Orange and blue have a very Dutch feeling for me!
just about my favourite colour combination. Looking great!
