I finished this quilt just under the wire for Shanna of Fiber of All Sorts February Lovely Year of Finishes! Yea!
I loved the name that Marlene of Kissed Quilts came up with, "Split Personality". It also inspired my quilting method. I split the quilt into free motion quilting, and straight line quilting! I love the way it looks, and even better, it sounds and feels like corduroy when you run your hand over the straight quilting :-).
The back is even more "split", as it's all reproduction fabric that I had in my stash! Lots of orange in this quilt, which I'm sure Shanna will like ;-).
Finally, I used a new technique that I leanred from Marlene's blog or facebook page... using clear transparencies and a white board marker to put over a print out of the quilt (I don't have a color printer). Love it!
I love to see straight lines and free motion curves. Your quilt is charming.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh I'm in love with your quilt. It's so great! Your machine and super awesome talent are paired up perfectly
ReplyDeleteYou really don't need a color printer!!! All you do is replace dried out color cartridges... because you dont' use them enough.... I only use the black/white- draft print.... unless it is important paperwork and then I let it use a bit more black ink.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great!
You might want to take some blue painters tape to put around the edges of that clear transparency. Trust me on this.....those white board markers are a royal PITA to get out when you accidentally go off the edge and onto your quilt top.......
ReplyDeleteLove your sun mini quilt :)
ReplyDeleteYour sun quilt really caught my eye. The color choice is very dramatic. Both quilts are very, very nice. To finish two quilts in a week is really inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful!
