In the machine quilting, I kept it very loose with random flowers and leaves to keep in the theme of a variety of patterns and layers... I also added a few appliques blocks, and a few vintage 9 patches, to help draw the eye downward across the quilt...
I used one of the blues in the quilt for the binding, and am finishing that hand stitching today. To start and finish a quilt this quickly, makes it feel like a complete thought for me.

Dionne at Sew many quilts, is giving it a try!I like the size, and the very swirly fabrics. The angles gives it nice movement also.
Keep sending links if you give it a try. I can't wait to see them all together!
I did finally get around to finishing the small amount of machine quilting I had left on the grad quilt... it washed up so nice, I'm having a hard time sticking it in the box to ship it off without a good snuggle first!
And Don't forget the Nothing But kisses, 9 patch quilt

ReplyDeleteLoving your Matisse quilt, I never found the time this week, but Ive enjoyed seeing your process!
Geez...you are one fast lady!
ReplyDeleteI will gather some fabrics and try this weekend-today's already spoken for.
The red fabric in the middle left side is one of my all time favs. I was such a fool not to order a bunch of it. It makes me happy everytime I see it. Very Provencal. Yum!
Wow, you are super speedy! I love your Matisse quilt, and your 9-patch! I still like the traditionals!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Dionne
