A finished quilt and a reflection of the gorgeous Autumn weather we've enjoyed this week, although I hear it will be short-lived with much cooler conditions expected to arrive just in time for the weekend.
As you can see I've had a wonderful time not only with the fabric selection process but also with the quilting of this
quilt. I started by stitching the vertical lines just over a 1/2 inch
apart and then continued on to also quilt horizontal lines, thereby
creating a crisscross of parallel lines. I wish I could easily convey to you the lovely texture and drape of this quilt created by the dense quilting grid.
For the back of the quilt I have used one of my favorite prints from the Flea Market Fancy Legacy Reprint fabric collection :: Leaf & Dot in Grey :: by Denyse Schmidt. The grey complements the tone and feel of the quilt and is further completed by the use of grey/white stripe fabric for binding (From Little Things by Sarah Fielke).
This one is all about the fabrics, the colors, and the quilting. I have thoroughly enjoyed working from stash to create this quilt! As usual, I have updated my Etsy Store. The listing for this quilt can been can be found here: Modern and Colorful Patchwork Quilt. SOLD
Thank you for stopping by!

Love it, love all those fabrics together. I'm working on something rectangular at the moment, but very scrappy.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely quilt, Rita. I really like that you included some liberty fabrics. What a pleasure this one must have been to piece and quilt!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and love the quilting!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors, I love the grid quilting and I always, always love the striped binding! www.paperstarfish.prettyposies.com

ReplyDeleteReally beautiful. All the grey fabrics in the FMF line are my most favorites!

Beautiful - I think this might be my favourite of all the quilts you share with us. Sorry, 2nd favourite, as I still drool over your Flea Market Fancy Progress III quilt. Have you had that one quilted yet, and if so, are you going to show us how it looks quilted?
ReplyDeleteHello everyone is talking bout their fabric stash, may we see yours ??? I bet it is colorful!IzzyR
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are just so yummy!
ReplyDeleteMean, one has to be quick like a bunny if they want to purchase one of your beauties. Such a beautiful quilt and I love the pattern. Is that pattern you made up on the fly or one that you followed? I love the simplicity of it and would like to replicate it if possible.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely BEAUTIFUL, and my favourite colours too!

Love love love this quilt ~ such wonderful colors ~ so soothing. It would be so nice for our weather over here, it being a really cool Spring.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that everything you touch turns golden. Another beautiful one!
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful! Love the crisscross quilting. Do you machine bind all your quilts? I read your tutorial and it looks more than 2.25 also but it is probably just me!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed just how fast you put quilts out too! I'm so slow!
I really like your color choices here, the quilting is very nice also.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute, I love the colors and will have to try quilting like that sometime, probably on something smaller. Very nice!!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt! I love the colour combination! It's a shame it's sold already *sigh* =D
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the backing fabric!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely. It hasn't warmed up here at all. I wish it would seeing it is meant to be our summer time in Ireland!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt. Since I am in the spring part of the world it looks more "Spring" than "Fall". Looks like a great picnic quilt. And the extra amount of quilting only enhances the effect! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Rita,
ReplyDeleteI love the greens and blues in this quilt, it's gorgeous!
I appreciate that you're very busy, but I wanted to pick your brains. I was just wondering if you ever have issues with puckering when you sew cross hatch/perpendicular quilting lines like you have with this quilt?
I'm having big issues with it and I'm not sure why...
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Abbe
This quilt just makes me smile -- such HAPPY colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour combo - love it!
