I want to tell you about another great compilation from Lissa Alexander for Martingale books!  This book is the third in a series of books by a bunch of Moda designers!  I think this might be my favorite yet so far…you know I love me some mini quilts…but there are lots of mini quilts in this book…Here is my contribution to the book, Midnight Garden…a lovely little wool appliqué quilt..which I love the way they stylized it here!  Shown with my favorite perle cotton appliqué Valdani thread for wool appliqué.

Here is the cover of the book! A beautiful cover…

If you are a fan of Primitive Gatherings you are probably into more traditional look than the quilts on the cover…we all know a great design is all we need to “switch” the colors and make it to our own tastes…and there are lots of great designs in the book…but…don’t worry…my friends…my quilt is NOT the only “dark”(as some refer to them) quilt the book this time…Here is Betsy’s quilt..so awesome!!!

and then there is Lynne’s quilt…

Which I love this one too because I know we can make this one in a couple of hours no problem…

Here is Martingales intro for the book…
