This inspiration came from Quiltville.com - thanks Bonnie!
Simple stash user, but those black and white checks took some getting used to! In the end, they make the quilt! (Where have we heard those kinds of comments before?)
I quilted it with light blue variegated in a topographic type design. There's a lot of quilting in there, more than necessary for a kid's quilt - wish I had done something simpler but it sure gives it a nice texture.
Above - the last of that cute fabric!
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.
Yes, those checks do make the quilt, don't they? Stunning! Nice job, Elaine!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful! I'm still working on mine -- and probably will be for a long time, since I'm truly doing it as a leader/ender project this year.
ReplyDeleteI love it...yum, yum! Great job quilting it too!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of scraps. Love the border.
ReplyDeleteLove everything about your quilt! The fabrics, colors, quilting, backing, borders! All those decisions! Awesome! Congratulations on your finish!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out very nicely!
ReplyDeleteI love it too! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! But the thought of making all those black and white 4-patches makes my head swim. You must be an incredibly fast piecer.
