One old, one new
I took a Roberta Horton workshop on plaids and stripes a long time ago. This is the quilt that I made of mostly her line of fabric that is so soft and comfy to wrap up in. It isn't beautiful by any means but I still like it. I got tired of the same old block so I started taking my scraps as I was working and made some crazy pieced blocks for some of the center squares. This one is a couch throw quilt. One of the days before Thanksgiving when I had an hour to spare before picking up my parents I finished piecing the top of the Kaffe Fassett Trip Around the World. It is up on my design wall waiting for me to choose borders.
This one really POPS!!! Wig.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are just wonderful. I've fooled around with plaids and it's time a quilt actually gets MADE!
ReplyDeleteCouch quilts should be more comfy than beautiful but this one looks both to me.
ReplyDeleteI love the crazies in the couch quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe TAW is breathtakingly beautiful.
Those are both wonderful! Plaids are all ALWAYS beautiful to me! :>)
ReplyDeleteI love that couch quilt. Somehow it looks both old fashioned and modern at the same time. It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI have some shirts in plaids and stripes that I've been storing up for a quilt. I've envisioned it be something like yours, and I think I will like making them into a quilt based on what I see in yours.
