Bohemian Love

I love Anna Maria Horner. That's nothing new to my longtime readers; it's pretty obvious. I adore her style and her fabrics are very "me." When I started quilting 3 years ago I was immediately drawn to Anna's then current line, Chocolate Lollipop - that was my entrance into the modern designer fabric love. Before that I had no idea that fabric of that quality was available (and the colors!).


For those of you who don't know, on the timeline of my entrance into quilting, Anna's Bohemian fabrics came about four years earlier. I'd never even had the thought that I would be able to sew with them, but thanks to some really lovely and generous ladies over on flickr, I get to play with them too! 

Aren't they lovely? I think I have at least a partial star of each fabric in the entire line! Whoa. Look at all the color! I'm so excited about this, and it's all for me! I'm keeping it! 

I think it'll be a doll quilt for my sewing room wall. It may end up being a series of Doll quilts, since I have so many ideas floating around in my head! 

Here are the stats on this one. I used Thangles to piece all those half square triangles. Each square finishes at 1.75" and the whole section here measures about 20" square!
