A better photo...........


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. ;^)

These 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?

An 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
colourful.
