Cluster Bleep In It's Glory

Yay! It's all finished!  I had fun quilting this one!  And I can safely say...I'm done with HST's at least for a little while! 


47" x 70"

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!

  1. 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...
    You are quite talented...that quilt is lovely.

  2. 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.

  6. Well 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.

  7. You 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!

  8. This is lovely. I'm always amazed at how much movement you can get in a quilt with just solids.

  11. Beautiful 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.
