Quilting is so creative. How many times have you seen a quilt and thought...I so want to do that? Every other quilt I look at inspires me! Makes me think in different ways, pushes me to do more, try more. I love quilters! You guys may or may not know how much you inspire others.
Okay...the finish!

A beautiful array of shot cottons and just a touch of hand dyed. The gray is Kona Shadow.
I went CRAZY with the quilting! After dividing the quilt in 4 sections, I machine quilted super dense organic lines in a Log Cabin type design. I used 6 different thread colors alternating colors in a random sort of way.
I have never quilted a quilt in such a dense way before. It was a lot of work, lots of thread changes, lots of turns. However, so worth it in the end! I was hoping after washing it that it would look amazing!
This is the back. I couldn't let those test blocks go to waste, so I incorporated them in the back. The grays are Kona Pewter and Kona Iron. I love this back and plan on making a quilt front with the design!
Thank you for stopping by and letting me over indulge with this quilt!

ReplyDeleteYES YES YES! This is it. The one that makes me want to quit my job and stay home and sew.
ReplyDeleteIt is fabulous and yes inspirational : )
Looks so good! I find the irregularly placed small squares an especially appealing part of the design. Someday I may do that kind of close quilting...I like it; don't know if I'd like doing it. It works well with your design.

ReplyDeleteThis is just spectacular, Jayne! I particularly love the contrast between the busyness of the blocks on the front and the simplicity of the blocks on the back. And that dense quilting, I can't imagine how long that took you! Amazing work, as always.
