I finished this quilt in January 2010 but the photo on my blog was from 2 cameras back and not a great shot. I took it to the basement and hung it on the double design wall and set up my auxiliary lights and this is much better. I quilted lines in both directions on my longarm and then stitched in the ditch on my straight stitch machine. It is 73" x 96" so it would fit a twin bed.
The quilt was made with a combination of batiks and regular quilting cottons, some of them Kaffe Fassett fabrics.
The inspiration quilt was in a Kaffe Fassett book but mine is made with a different number of squares in sections behind the vertical rows of small squares. It resembles a beaded curtain and also reminds me of the argyle pattern.
I need to show a few quilts to someone so I'm adding them to this post.
Marcia Derse tall triangles, about 70" x 90".
Batik Trip Around the World. 66" x 91". 120 different batik fabrics.
All 1930's reproduction prints, Trip Around the World, 69" x 92". 24 different fabrics.
All purple quilting cottons, pattern from a Karla Alexander book. Her name for the quilt was Out of Line. 61" x 88".
Wow! This is a fun quilt parade. I love the first one. I do see the argyle pattern and the beads. The different kinds of cotton make it a fun quilt. I'm glad you decided to show them to us. Thanks. ;^)

I really like all of these quilts you show! I'm not sure which I like the best - the triangles or the first one
ReplyDeleteI love it when you highlight your completed quilts!
ReplyDeleteThese are truly treasures, each and every one ! Argyle, Triangles, TAW’s, and Purple with all the movement. Every time I look at Purple, I see it move with so many different designs. Wonderful Sunday post that I’ll be looking at many times.

I love the first quilt, such a yummy combo of batiks & Kaffe colour! Are the white looking squares all from the same fabric or a mix?
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt from January. A fun pattern and so pretty. And thanks too for showing the rest. Such inspiration
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! Is has be fun to look back on some of the many quilts you have made.
ReplyDeleteAn exciting post, perfect to sit and look at these with my cup of tea this morning. I fell in love with the first one, as I wasn't blogging until 2013 I have never seen this one. Your two TATW quilts are super
