While I wasn't able to attend quilt market this year, one of my quilts did make the trip! I think this quilt was made from start to finish in about 6 days, and was certainly the fastest quilting I've done in some time. Elyse from Westminster fabrics asked if I could make a last minute quilt to display in their booth, and of course I couldn't say no. A day later this giant stack of fabrics arrived at my doorstep and I got to work.
While admittedly these are not fabrics I am typically drawn to, it was fun playing with fabric that were a little different style. The fabric is Camille by Melissa White for Westminster fabric, and as a whole really plays well together, with the bright bold fabrics being balanced with a few more muted patterns. It sort of gives me a vintage sheets sort of vibe, with maybe some Kaffe Fasset-ness thrown in.
I used my starburst cross block tutorial, and decided to play with color value, by pairing up the light and dark fabrics, so each fabric was represented equally.

ReplyDeleteNo problem lady - sorry it wasn't the greatest shot! (I didn't want to take my big camera, so I was just using my phone.) It is a gorgeous quilt and I'm so excited for you that you were able to tackle it in such a short amount of time and get it in there! : )

ReplyDeleteYour quilts are amazing - found you via Pinterest. Pay no mind if you see stats for someone pinning every single one of your posts; it's just me making a "bucket list."
ReplyDeleteSo far I've only tried FMG on small things but I this could inspire me to get more adventurous and do something with greater impact. Love your color choices.
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt! Wonderful color/value study. lovely pattern.
ReplyDeleteOh, MY! I just saw this quilt in a Rowan ad on the back cover of the Quiltmaker January/February '13 magazine and fell in love. It took me a while to track it down, but I was determined and I found it/you! LOVE IT. I hope to make one of these, someday (maybe this year)...?
