This looks so different in person. The camera did not want to pick up the totally saturated colors. The purples look blue in this photo too. I hope I can get a better photo with some different lights on it. It is 59.5" x 77". The solid color fabrics are from the 1980s and 90s and the Jinny Beyer Palette prints are from the early 1990s. I finished the layout and started sewing while my 2 friends were here sewing yesterday. My son and daughter in law took me out for pizza for Mother's Day because they will be gone this weekend. When I got home I finished the sewing and pressing. It was a good day.
Beautiful colours and interesting design. Maybe because of my computer settings I don't see blue; I see medium/dark lilacs, but I love it all anyway. We've already had Mothers Day here - glad you had a lovely day with your son and family - I'm sure they appreciate you very much :)
It is frustrating to get fabric to photo right. I love this quilt- it is a strong finish. I got your envelope and am still going crazy changing all the squares. Nothing has gelled yet that I am happy with. Nice and sunny today!
Happy Mother's Day Wanda. The quilt is beautiful, even if the camera isn't picking up the true color saturation. I usually try to photograph mine outside, on days without much sun, which we've had a lot of lately unfortunately, and usually accompanied by rain. Enjoy your day.
Happy Mother's Day to you (and pizza sounds like a great way to celebrate). We're doing a split this year - the kids are celebrating with Little Man tomorrow at home and then we're going "grandma's mother's day" next weekend. LOVE this newest top - and I too am reading more lilac than blue.
That's a stunning quilt top. I just love it. Since I am familiar with the fabrics you used (may have some in my stash, she whispers) I know what you mean about capturing colors accurately -- tricky combo to get the camera to recognize just right.
All I can say is WOW! What a stunning quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics may be decades old, but the quilt is so today. Congrats, Wanda. You've done it again.
