Hello Friend,

I’m so excited to share this incredible quilt that Denise made…I’m in awe! I’m sure you are, too.

The pattern is called Glacier Star by Judy Niemeyer’s, and it’s a foundation paper pieced pattern. It looks like the pattern is available through shops that teach the technique. I’ve linked info from one of the shops. If you’re interested, contact them for more info.

I wish you could all see this one in person. The colors are so beautiful against the black background.

I thought and thought about what designs to suggest for this quilt, and kept coming back to 1/2” lines. When I suggested the 1/2” lines, I suggested the variegated thread as an option, too. Denise loved that idea!! I was so excited!!! I used my Lined 1/2” design to quilt it, which is available in my shop.

I used Superior Threads Omni-V variegated thread…color #9044 Zumba…it has purple, orange, yellow, and green in it. I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles. I thought about using black batting, but there are enough light colors on the front, I didn’t want the dark to show through.

Now, I’ll just share a variety of different pictures…it really is such a stunning quilt.

I’m sure it would have been great with a different quilting design, but the lines allow the quilt to shine and doesn’t take away from the overall quilt design. Plus, lines are super modern…which fits this quilt perfectly.
