I recently received an e-mail from my aunt Diane and my cousin Sophia. They design quilt and teddy bear patterns - So Cute! - and sell them at Honey and Clover.com. They recently added this design to their collection and wanted to know if I would test the pattern for them. I was thrilled with the chance. They mailed me the fabrics and instructions and off I went. The fabrics all look as if there's a party going on - I love the bright colors and the confetti, stars and streamers. I also am very involved with music, so this was the perfect pattern for me.

The music notes are cut out of colored and black fabric and fused to the background blocks with fusible webbing (we used Heat 'n' Bond). Then each note is stitched down using a tight zig-zag in either black or invisible thread. The blocks are sewn together into strips, then the strips are sewn tother. Once I had finished this much of the quilt we took this picture and e-mailed it to Diane and Sophia.

After this I put a black border around the entire quilt, put the layers together, machine quilted in the ditch, and bound the quilt. My mother was flying to Oregon to visit Diane (who is her sister) the next day. I quickly finished up and sent the quilt out in Mom's suitcase. However, I forgot to take a picture of the completed project. Sorry!
