Yeah another quilt done! This will go into the stash in case I need a quilt quick. I used Kona snow and a variety of prints from different manufacturers. It was free motion machine quilted with King Tut White Linen. The strips were cut at 4". It turned out 39" x 52.75". It doesn't look rectangular in the picture - I must have tilted the phone when I took the picture.
For the back I use the last of this Jane Sassaman print and added another print to make it big enough. I have notice with the Jane Sassaman prints that the designs are not printed on the fabric squarely. This bugs me. I got all the Sasaman fabric in my stash at a really good price so if nothing else they make good backings. A friend of mine and I made a fussy cut quilt using her fabrics a couple of years ago and it was a trying experience due to the way the fabric was printed.
I will be sewing together the 3" strips from that UFO pile of strips I cut who know how long ago next. I will have to cut more Kona Snow strips. I laid out the strips this morning before I left to work and there is an interesting mix of fabrics - grays and pinks, browns and pinks, and white and pinks. I am thinking of a postage stamp style quilt with these.
Patty, it is fabulous! I absolutely love the back! I have found that there aren't many manufacturers that seek perfection in making sure the print on the fabric is square. . . definitely an annoyance!
ReplyDeleteYou have me wanting to make a pink quilt!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about tilting the camera. It takes many shots for me to get it at the right angle since my design walls are leaning against something at a slight angle,
It turned out really cute! Love the print on the back too.
