Last fall I won these gorgeous fat eighth hand dyed fabrics from Vicki Welsh 's blog. I knew I wanted something to hang on my wall of sewing/knitting room. But it took a while to decide. While watching TV one night a couple months ago I caught of glimpse of something like this and an idea was born! I cut 1" strips and laid them out in a pleasing order to me, added some white strips from my stash. Then it just sat around for a while until I came up with a quilting plan and Sunday I put it
on my longarm and quilted it up, bound it yesterday and now I will go hang it on my wall :-) It measures in around 19" square. I used Hobbs white batting which I think is 80/20 and glide thread in a very light silver which looks white on white fabric.
Look at how cool the quilting looks when you look at an angle across the quilt.
I am very pleased with how it came out and how it shows so nicely in the sunlight this morning to snap some pic's! I found it interesting how the quilting on the back looks so different with just a little different angle to the camera.
Linking up with a few linky parties this week that you will find listed on my sidebar.
love the quilting and happy colors!

ReplyDeleteSeriously awesome!! I love the effect of the quilting and it really is amazing how different it looks on the back! Congratulations, what a great finish and a bright and colorful addition to your sew/knitting room :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I said aloud, when you pointed out how different the quilting looks on the back with a slightly different angle! Love what you did from start to finish. Makes me want to make one.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish! Your quilting really enhanced the whole design and overall effect. Love it!
ReplyDeleteStunning piece!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love the quilting on this--it really makes the whole thing POP. Congrats on the finish!
ReplyDeleteI love your design and the great quilting!
ReplyDeleteLove how the white makes that rainbow of colour really pop. And your straight line quilting is very effective here. If I might offer a tiny suggestion for your blog... your quilts are lovely. Why not show them off a little more by using the largest possible size for your pics? It would make all the details that you work so hard on more visible.
ReplyDeleteI love this! The quilting looks so awesome! Go you! ;)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was beautiful before, but the quilting makes it even more so! Congrats on your finish.
