Atelier

Atelier is a French word meaning workshop or studio; a place where beautiful things are created. This is the fifth Moda Frivol quilt top I’ve finished. I’m hoping to pick up the January tin at the quilt shop sometime next week. The fabric line is called French General. I like the way its faded rouge looks against the somber blue-grey and oyster. This quilt pattern didn’t require any extra fabric; everything I needed (except for batting, back and binding) was right in the tin. Unlike the other Frivols, it isn’t based on a quilt block design. It’s just a series of two-patches and strips. It came together fairly quickly, but there was nothing worth capturing and sharing during the process, unless it was a pile of tiny squares and rectangles. The finished quilt (if I ever decide how I want it quilted) will be 28x31” – either a large table-topper or a small wall hanging.
