All Aflutter Color Option

Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke

Fabrics: Celestial Collection by Jason Yenter for In The Beginning

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke was literally seeing stars (and planets!) when making her version of All Aflutter. In place of the three solid white rows in the original quilt, Laura used a black outer space print. In this area, she fused on and stitched around planets, a sun, a moon, and a comet, all fussy-cut from two multicolor prints.

Fabrics: For Love of Country collection by Dan Morris for Quilting Treasures

Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke
