I finished up the housewarming quilt for my friends who moved a month ago. There's a problem. I love this quilt so much I want to hang on to it. I won't, but I want to.
Have you ever done something, made something and thought, "I did something really great!" There were a few papers in college I felt that way about and now this quilt.
One of things I like best about the quilt is the combinations of regularity and improvisation. There's virtually nothing I would change.
I quilted it in a sort of square spiral echoing the concentric squares. It turned out quite well and finished quickly, which is always a bonus.
For the back I did my yardage of damask sliced asymmetrically and filled with cream, which was also sliced asymmetrically and filled with randomly pieced scraps from the front and a few pulled from my scrap jar.
It's great when you love the back of the quilt as much as the front.
I like the colors you used in this. And your right it is nice when you have the back of the quilt that is as great as the front. Like 2 quilts in one, an added bonus!
ReplyDeleteLovely Quilt! I like the "jewels" that break the regularity of the concentric squares--and the back! Well done.
