Good morning!
Apparently I only post four times a year anymore :) I keep thinking and
hoping that will change but I guess it won't in the foreseeable future.
Well, you are here for the pictures, so without ado:

This
one is huge, 2,3m x 1,9m (about 90" x 75") and it is made with Heather
Bailey's Lottie Da.
And thank you to my dear quilt holder, I know it is a very heavy quilt and telling you to hold it higher was not nice of me :)
I originally only selected the orchidy fabrics but soon found that I prefered more balance and took the other colors in as well. It is more purple in real life, the pictures don't show them too well.
The pattern on the front is Camille Roskelley's
Lucky, the star on the back after a tutorial found at Better of Thread. Two quilts in one, it seems like I just can't do "normal" quilts anymore.
I accidently made the star on the back too big so the front had to get another border.
The quilting was made with a template because my sewing machine is determined to not let me fmq and I wanted something other then straight line stitching.
I am quite happy with how it turned out and am hoping that in time it will find a new owner because two quilts in my sleeping room is more than enough :)
What's your limit of quilts? Do you have one?
I am linking up to the radiant orchid challenge over at Play Crafts.
Have a good day!

I love your fabric choices and design!
ReplyDeleteThank you AnnMarie! I have decided to do a giveaway with the rest of the fabric bundle. I just have to find the time for taking pictures and posting them :)
DeleteThat star is *exactly* the right size, by which I mean HUGE. Love it
ReplyDeleteThank you! I thought so too, but then had to add a border to the front :) But the star stayed :)
DeleteThis is so beautiful! I love the soft colors with the pops of charcoal. And it's so fun that it's two sided! Both sides turned out wonderfully. Gorgeous job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne! I love two quilts in one, so I had no doubt about making it double-sided. The next one is only having one pieced side, though, because it is just so much easier to quilt :)
Deletesimply gorgeous!!!! a perfect Spring quilt, indeed!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah! It almost feels like summer here, so I better get going and make another quilt. Something very summery :)
