I recently saw this beautiful quilt made up by Sinta at Pink Pincushion. It is just so striking, you must go take a look at it. I contacted Sinta to ask where she found the pattern, and it turns out I had it all along. It is in the February 2016 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. The quilt in the magazine was made by Sherri at A Quilting Life. Both ladies made their quilts out of some beautiful Denyse Schmidt fabrics.
Well, this is seeming to be very serendipitous, as I too, have a stash of Denyse Schmidt fabrics I have been saving for something special. I am thinking this is probably a quilt I need to make. I have everything I need all arranged in a a pretty basket set out to inspire me.
Don't you love it when things just come together?
Busy week this week, so my blogging may be limited, but I will get back to you and share all about the special 30 degree angle ruler that makes cutting the wedges for the Fanfare block easier.
Hope your week is off to a great start!

That will be gorgeous!!
Love this too! Anxious to hear about the ruler.
It’s a beautiful quilt or quilts since both, Sherri’s and Sinta’s are amazing.
BTW the pattern is available seperatly in Sherri’s shop but it’s named Mahalo there and there#s also a mini version.
sinta’s quilt is gorgeous! i love denyse schmidt fabric. has such a cool retro vibe to it. ;p
I love those Denyse Schmidt fabrics, and used in that quilt pattern, they are a standout. Hope you get the time to get it going, I’d love to see your progress.
Which magazine did you find the pattern in?
This one is on my to-make list too. I think you can buy the individual pattern, called Mahalo, from Sherri of A Quilting Life.
Definitely interested in hearing what you have to say about this project.
I’ll be following along! This one is going to be gorgeous…but aren’t they all?!
You will love making this as the pieces sew together so nicely. I love template cutting and sewing.
Have fun sewing! You can also used curved piecing for this quilt…I’ve been teaching it that way lately, and it goes extra fast that way!
