The gray sections I machine quilted with gray thread and 1/2" lines. I love how it adds visual interest to the HST's. Geometric quilting is so fun to experiment with! The center are 1" lines, which I quilted in a few different sections.
I really, really love freshly washed quilts! Crinkles, crinkly, crinkled! Plus, they make for great pictures!
Here is the link to my last post about this quilt. You can see that I did vary the original design slightly during construction! HST Cluster (Bleep!)
I think that's normal, at least for me! I seem to do that a lot when working with my designs or even a pattern. Sometimes it just feels better!
I finally got my sidebar Social Media Buttons figured out on my blog too! Thanks to my daughter who did her magic! HTML scares me! However I will say I did a little magic of my own! The buttons were HUGE. Britt's suggestion...Google it...you can change the size. Thank you Google for the wealth of info you share on a daily basis! I did it all by myself and there seems to be peace and harmony lurking throughout my little blog now! Whew!

That is just beautiful...I love washed / dried quilts too...it can be 100 degrees outside, but I will sit on the couch and snuggled a warm out of the dryer quilt...
ReplyDeleteYou are quite talented...that quilt is lovely.
I like your cluster variation on the HST quilt! Love the gray background and irregular edges. Your quilting was perfect for the design--especially the closer lines on the gray.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. It's so dynamic; I like the way you mixed the colours and changed the direction of the triangles. Super!
ReplyDeleteSorry forgot to praise the quilting which enhances the layout of the patchwork perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the crinkle of washed quilts too! I am always amazed how wonderful simple lines quilting looks. This quilt rocks! I found you on Anything Goes Monday. Stop by my blog for a visit anytime.
ReplyDeleteWell isn't this fabulous! The colours pop right off that grey! The quilting is fabulous too. I like how you did two different widths of lines.
ReplyDeleteYou quilting is perfect! I love the different widths, it adds such an interesting touch. You did a great job picking the colours, they're really bold but still harmonic in the way they combine!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. I'm always amazed at how much movement you can get in a quilt with just solids.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt! Love the use of solids and unique layout!
ReplyDeleteI've been playing with HSTs too lately! I love your quilt, very nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish - the extra crinkle from the wash is so wonderful. I really like the subtle change in the quilting between the HSTs and background, it adds a nice touch to the quilt.
ReplyDeleteBoth your quilt and your sidebar look lovely! I love how the grey fabric makes the colors sparkle.
ReplyDeletefantastic colors - well done!
ReplyDeleteI like your quilting and your colors are gorgeous. I LOVE HST.
