Martha - A NEW Block of the Month Program by Emma Di Stefano from Treehouse Textiles.
Inspired by the soft colours of vintage cross-stitch, the Martha Quilt is a perfect blend of old and new. The traditional subdued palette of warm pink, purple and blue is contrasted with the lovely pops of colour and a touch of dark green, creating a gentle quilt with surprising depth.
The Martha Quilt was an opportunity to rediscover my love of star blocks and contains many different variations on the traditional star shape. I had so much fun creating the focal points of the quilt - three large feathered stars. Their size and pretty colours are contrasted with smaller, sharper stars. Those who created my first ever Block of the Month 'Citrus Sweet Love', will recognise the circular 'Millie' stars. Their softer angles and bright colours against the gentle colours and sharp points of the large blocks create a beautiful blend of styles.
Like every Block of the Month Quilt, the Martha Quilt requires a range of skills and techniques to keep you interested, such as hand-piecing, machine sewing and applique.
We estimate that approximately half of the fabric in this program will be original. The rest will be substituted from our store. Rest assured we will provide beautiful, well-matched fabric that will look amazing if not better than the original quilt.
Finished quilt measures 78" x 78"
