I quilted it with wavy organic lines running the length of the quilt. I have actually become much more used to FMQ this year so going back to straight line quilting - especially on a quilt this size - was actually a bit challenging.
But the big news is that this quilt and a couple of others that I made (this and this) are actually at Quilt Market right now in the birch fabrics booth. This is really exciting for me as I never imagined that I would ever have anything on display there!
I'm not really sure what category to put this in for the festival so I am going to choose quilt photography. I just took these photos in my backyard where I take most of my quilt photos but since I have committed this year to improving my photography skills through the Quilt Photography Workshop that I am hosting on my blog, I thought that would be the most appropriate category for me.

ReplyDeleteHow thrilling to be part of Quilt Market - congrats. I just love this line of fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of this quilt and woo hoo for it being at quilt market!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty quilt. my design process really varies. If there is a line of fabric I just love, I'll buy it without thinking of a pattern, but If I need a quilt for a specific purpose, I usually choose the pattern first. lately, I've been trying to pull from my stash as much as possible, so sometimes that can go either way. I might vary one or the other to make it work.

you completely deserve to have your quilts at quilt market - well done :-)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have your quilts in the Birch booth! That is a gorgeous quilt. I agree, I really need to have an idea of fabrics before I can decide on design, they are definitely intertwined.
ReplyDeleteYou have such talent in putting schemes together. I love how you combine patterns in a relaxing and exciting to look at way. I worry if i have many patterns it will look too busy, but you have shown us here how good it can look expertly conceived.
ReplyDeleteI tend to buy the fabrics that catch my eye and think of the final design later. I keep a stash of plains handy at all times too, to add contrast.
Love your work, congratulations!
I really like the modern feel to this. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having them at quilt market you must be pleased, great quilt!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that they're at Market, well done! I know that they were made to show off the print, but I really love the use of solids here, it works really well.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your quilt being at the Birch Fabric booth! What fun! Now I'm off to look at your Quilt Photography Workshop because I need help with that. :-)
