I knew instantly that it needed to become a quilt. I gathered a lot of my neutral/low volume scraps, some Kona cotton and some Essex linen, and started working on some blocks.
Four different, but similar, blocks.
The very fabulous Krista Withers did the machine quilting.
So remember--inspiration is all around you.

ReplyDeleteWaHoo Cindy! Fabulous quilt. Somehow I missed this one. Must not have picked up a winter issue. Isn't it fun to find design in unexpected places and be able to translate it into a great quilt?

What a wonderful quilt!! I love the way the colour pops against the low volume braids. It's a great quilt for a winter publication too, it has a wintery look about it.
ReplyDeleteYou are The Best! I love how your quilt turned out. If I remember correctly, you were playing around with ideas the last time I saw you, and now here it is-- a completed, AND published quilt. A-may-zing! Love this--good job!
