I did it!
Well, the top part.
I took new pictures this morning. Stood on a chair this time!
But that counts!! Bless your soul Allegory, this top was a beast. Thank you for allowing sewn up tops to count :)
I sat on the back of the couch to get this shot. This will be a good size quilt! I like how the blue petals calm it down a little, but not too much. It's hard to get true to color pictures with a phone camera, but these are all pretty saturated colors!
This quilt pattern is by Katy Jones and is in the Fat Quarterly Shape Workshop for Quilters book. The fabric I used is all from the collection Cocoon by Valori Wells.
I thought sewing the around the petals with my FMQ foot would be simple...but it was NOT...and if you look really closely, it looks like I sneezed during quilting (see below). I may have. But not that many times.
I really really wanted to get this done to enter into the linky party and I made it just in time! Of course that is why the photos are so dark, but I
Right now I'm just thrilled to have gotten past all those petals!!! You can check out the other submissions here!
Now we sleep....g'night!
oh! I can't for the life of me come up with a beverage related name for this thing....if you have any ideas will you tell me? I might just give you something if I like what you come up with!
Pimms??
ReplyDeleteAmazing Marian! That looks like a really hard quilt to make. Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!! I'd call it club soda - all the great colours are like bright club lights and the bubbles remind me of the label of Schweppes club soda :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great...and I love the fabric choice. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is gorgeous! It does look like a ton of work. I was working on some "sneeze" quilting this weekend too--I need to remember that excuse. :)
ReplyDeleteWow that looks incredible! The blue gives it a really nice finish. Maybe 'Bubble gum pop' 'Blueberry bubbles' for the name? =D
ReplyDeleteYou make me smile.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of colours! I would go for a name of a fruity cocktail, for example "Gin Fizz", "Planter's Punch",... ("Sex on the beach" wouldn't be appropiate though ;) )
ReplyDeleteI love it. It's amazing!
ReplyDeleteIf you were to flip it around, so the area with fewer petals were at the top, I would think of something like "Fizzle." It makes me think of all the bubbles that float to the top when you first pour pop in a glass.
Wow, that looks like so much work! Very colourful and fun Marian.
ReplyDeleteLooking fabulous...Loving the colours in it.
