I love making quilts with several different size blocks. This one has 4 sizes. All of the fabrics are Kaffe Fassett collective.
This quilt is 63.5" x 82.5". The longarm quilting was done by my friend Robin.
The camera once again is emphasizing the dark and light and I don't feel that the dark blocks are as dark as they look in these photos.
This is an angle photo that I took when I finished the top and the colors seem much more accurate here. Every straight on photo I take of it is value distorted.
The backing fabric, also a Kaffe fabric, was a gift from a friend. The binding is an older Kaffe print. The quilt has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it.
I started making the blocks for this quilt on June 17, 2020 and finished the top in August 2020. 4 years in the waiting room before it would be finished.
Yesterday turned out to be partially cloudy and the humidity wasn't too bad so I finished the mowing in 2 sessions. Now the temperature is going to be 90 or above for 4 days with high humidity.
Beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteI've been noticing how nice and crisp ur pics have been lately. Did you get a new camera? Or are my eyeballs just cleaner? Lol Those folded quilts posted a few days back looked like I could reach out and touch them! And believe me, I wanted to!
wowza! colorific! i did a churn dash last year with different size blocks...soo fun
ReplyDeleteWow, I just love this one - captures all our hot weather! And yes, the different sized blocks always intrigue me, so far I've just managed a couple quilts with 2 sizes of stars so I need to improve in that regard.

Oh, gosh, what a riot of glorious color! What a fabulous quilt. Wouldn't that be nice to snuggle up in to lift the spirit on a cold dreary day.
ReplyDeleteJust a lovely multi-sized block quilt!! I love that umbrella KF fabric--I have some of it waiting to be used...I hate to cut into it:)))
ReplyDeleteRaining here--very showery these past few days--15 min of heavy rain then nothing for a few hrs followed by more brief rain showering....74.7 here with 73.8 DP--so muggy muggy....
Hugs, Julierose
Your quilts glow with inner light.
ReplyDeleteI like the small blocks tucked in with the larger ones - looks great.
ReplyDeletePerfect size for a quilt! I know the camera's take on colors is a pain! What I can see I do like. The different size blocks give some drama to the quilt. Such a great finish!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt certainly has the WOW factor ! Intriguing with the different size blocks. And it has your signature exuberant colors to it. Another creative show piece from your studios Wanda. 💕

ReplyDeleteThe alternate sizes really add to the design!
ReplyDeleteHope you're staying cool this muggy weekend. We did the annual garden tour fast to beat the heat!
What a joyously colorful quilt, front, back, and binding! You've done it again, Wanda, dreamed up and made a one-of-a-kind-on-the-planet glorious quilt. Applause, applause!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Beautiful - loaded with glorious colour!! I do like your use of a few different sized blocks, very effective.
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing quilt so beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first finish for July. It is so pretty! Besides an exercise in scale, it's a showcase for pattern - more is better!
