Wednesday WIP





There is nothing subtle and ladylike about this Liberty Quilt.    I think I like it - definitely not what I originally had in mind when I started working on  this quilt. Perhaps it is leaning towards the more Bohemian artists and style associated with the Bloomsbury group.

The other day while wandering  in Spotlight, I fell in love with a beautiful shot cotton.  I decided it would work perfectly for the corners on my Bloomsbury Quilt.  After a lot of playing with contrasting and co-ordinating solids, I have been very brave and gone for a grape colour which picks out the purple/grape in the shot cotton.

So far only the centre panels have been sewn together, I am now trying to decide whether to hand or machine sew the Dresdens on and what colour centres - patterned or plain to give them.  Also debating whether to keep it at the original size which is about 60" square or add some borders so it makes a really big quilt for my bed.  That would mean I may have to buy some more Liberty.  Damn!

    I saw those shot cottons at Spotlight! Gorgeous aren't they. I'm using two or three of the other Spotlight shot cotton colours in my current quilt. I loved the two you are using but didn't have the right project for them. I can see why you chose them here. It will be fun to see what you end up choosing for your centres.

    It's such a lovely quilt!! It does have a bit of a Bohemian vibe to it, must be the colors!! You will probably finish yours before mine ... I can't wait to see how you will finish it. :-)
