Quilts From Winter, 2019 Part One of Three


I made three large quilts this winter and got them back from the machinist a couple of weeks ago and finished binding the last just a few days ago. Today we took pictures.

This first one is intended as a wedding gift to the son of a long-time friend. I confess that I don't really know the son well and I've never met his bride. But I hope they will like this quilt.

I didn't have a pattern. I saw a picture on line that I liked and right around that time I took a class at a shop where I bought FQ bundles of Tula's spots and stripes and knew they would be perfect for my intent. I dove into my bin of solids to help them out. The black is a mottle rather than a crisp Kona and it works nicely with the brights.

My machinist is very good. Here's a close-up:

It is beautiful, but I had to laugh as something my Mom said about one of my quilts came to mind as I looked at it. I was showing my mom a version I made of one of Bonnie Hunter's designs. It was made of plaid shirts in peach, purple, black, and white. My mom took one look and said, "I'd never be able to fall asleep under something that bright." LOL
I would have no trouble falling asleep under such a happy dance of color. I'm sure it will be loved.
