Once I got back from
New York, I went on a quilt-making rampage. As soon as I was done with the simple, modern quilt, I realized that I needed to turn in a quilt sample for my next
improvisational quilt class. So, I made this green and white number with some blocks I've been playing with for awhile. I just couldn't help myself and backed it with yellow gingham checks made from thrift store curtains. I didn't even care that the gingham was part polyester. Madness!
Sorry I didn't take any pictures of the back. I whipped on the binding, threw it up on the design wall to take a couple of pictures and rushed it to
the shop, as my "homework" was a day late!
If you'll be in the Bay Area in June and are interested in taking the class for this incredibly versatile pattern sign up

This quilt is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI studied creative writing but gave it up to learn German and French so my skills of articulation are limited but can be twice translated ;-) This is all leading up to the fact that what I'm about to say should be taken as "this is wonderful - o my gosh I love this!" and that is... it reminds me of grass and springtime. Like a meadow or a big flat field in Indiana that just goes on for miles and waves in the wind. I love it :)
ReplyDeleteEach of those blocks has a great division of space, and I love the fresh look of this. Something about those greens against the white... yum!
ReplyDeleteI really like that quilt. I love the piecing and thw quilting! Good work!
ReplyDeleteAmazing what that little pop of yellow can do to a design. Love the combo! You have such a great eye for balancing colors.
