Colorwash rectangles #6 is finished. It is 35.5" x 53.5".
The backing fabric is one of those that I had to have because it was so beautiful but with all of the color changes and the metallic gold print on top I just never found a way to cut it up for a project. It is a great backing.
I am about 2/3 done with the quilting on the floral colorwash. The back is a piece of decorator fabric that I have had for many years and it is perfect for this quilt.
A fabric stash is a joy forever! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Seriously I love your colorwashes, and it's grand to have the perfect fabric for the backing right there waiting for you to find it.
I especially enjoy hearing about your backing fabric choices as this is something I struggle with.

I perfect backing for a perfect quilt - just so lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI love the rectangle colorwash. Is that more difficult to do than the squares? Your blending on it is excellent.
ReplyDeleteThey are both so beautiful Wanda, and love the fact that you have all these fabrics squirreled away and ready for use when you need them.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish. That backing is perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteYour color washes are always so mesmerizing, I love looking at them. I agree your backings are beautiful pieces.
