anniemueller Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Here's what I've been working on. The quilt top was made by staff at my local quilt shop, that staff included me . I just got it quilted in preparation for the Jackson Hole Quilt Festival that's coming in early October. I'll be teaching two classes, on one block wonders and cubes. The quilting is free motion. The batting is a blend, I think it's Hobbs 80/20. I used a variety of threads, including sew fine, invisifil, glide and bottom line. I would have loved to put feathers in the big blue spaces, but this quilt did not speak feathers to me. It spoke flowers with wavy leaves. The Pajama Quilter teaches them, and I've seen them in many other places. They are easy to do, easy to fit into weird spaces. The background in some of the blue is a variation of banana stacks (?), spaced out a bit to mimic the fern leaves in the fabric. The hex blocks are continuous curve. SID around the cubes. Thanks for looking! I don't have a good picture of the whole quilt yet. Here it is folded over my cutting table: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenniferBernard Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 One block wonders are sometimes a real challenge to quilt. I would say you have met the challenge and excelled!

Enchanted Quilting Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Great use of those flowers...great creativity to have them both in the outer border and across the sashing to some inner blocks. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K. Szymaszek Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 This is great. I love the flowers in the blocks, so simple but so pretty, and the flowers and leaves in the blue space give it so much texture. Love it. Have fun at the show. I'm still hoping to get to Jackson Hole sometime, looks like an amazing place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggienoella Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's very beautiful. I love how you quilted it and love the flowers. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Top o' the walk quilting, all phases, piecing, colors are gorgeous, etc. I agree, flowers rather than feathers are the best choice. I think a lot of folks who see this will remember and use the flowers as you have here, in other quilts, also. Good Luck, top winnings are hoped for..
