I've finally finished my "Make it up as I go" quilt. My first and probably only quilt finish of the year.
Started back here in 2023, it's been a slow process.
Very much inspired by the fabulous seedling quilt from Tales of Cloth, I made a Mandolin block as my first block, then pieced or stitched other blocks I liked, but didn't necessarily want to make a whole quilt of. In hindsight, I should have made the quilt in a log cabin sequence, it would have made fitting pieces a lot easier.
Always using my loved low volume and bright combination this quilt is approximately 70" square.
The backing is a fabulous rainbow Ombre from Northcott fabrics.
The magical e2e quilting by Quiltmekiwi is Gingersnap design
Binding is in Yarrow by Kona fabrics, I wasn't sure on the gold colour, but I think it frames it all nicely, and has a light brightening effect.
The final seal of approval has been given by Meeka.
Such a beautiful finish Julie!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. And Meeka approved, even better.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the gold binding frame the quilt beautifully? As I mentioned I found this quilt VERY hard to give back! I loved your choices of fabrics and placement of blocks, your sewing is always so neat and tidy, it was a pleasure to quilt. I hope Meeka enjoys her naps on it.
