I have been quiet on the blog for a couple of weeks, but I get to make it up to you by sharing this stunning quilt made by Dorothy. I had little bit of trouble getting a good picture of the whole thing as it is a biggie - it came in at 94" x 113"! It is a generous size but should really fit nicely on a bed with the shaped corners.
I really enjoyed the mix of freehand and ruler work that went into quilting this quilt.
These blocks are 14" set on point. My 20" QP Curve Template by Linda over at the Quilted Pineapple is what I used in both these squares and the setting triangles. The markings on the templates made echoing the line a breeze.
Dorothy really likes a leafy feather so I used those and a swirl in a variety of ways throughout the quilt to tie it all together. (The taupe leaf print does a good job of hiding the quilting!) Here is a close up of the center of the quilt. The quilting shows up really well on the back!
Lovely quilt and love your quilting Lori.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous quilt. Lori, the quilting is really stunning. Both you and Dorothy have done a wonderful job. Definitely well worth all the time and effort.
ReplyDeleteThe back looks just as wonderful as the front! Great mix of designs.
