Floral Quartet Quilt Finished
I finished this quilt about a month ago and never posted about it. It has a lot of texture to it, which I love. Here’s a shot of it lying on the floor near a window. The color is not right, but it shows the texture pretty well:
Here are some other shots that are closeups of different areas. The deep blue is more a reflection of the true color, but I had to take some shots without a flash to show the wonderful texture:
I love how the outer blue border came out. I need to do more stuff like this down the road:
I felt kind of dumb at the end because I had been really careful to mark a border line about 1/2 inch from all edges to be sure I didn’t quilt into the area that would ultimately become the binding. Once I went to bind it, I felt like it needed a little punch of color right at the edge, so I added that narrow orange channel along each edge. Of course, this covered the edge of the quilted design…GRRRRR!!!!:
The appliques were all cut on my small Sizzix Big Shot using the Appli-K-Kutz Stems 2 die and Petals 4 Large die. Totally, totally fun to make!
===and totally, totally fun to look at! :o)
The colours and design are striking from a distance but I love how much more to see there is with the close up shots!
Congratulations on another spectacular finish. I’d certainly love to attend the “Finish Celebration Party” for this quilt. Beautiful. Great overall design, beautiful fabrics and colors, gorgeous machine embroidery and quilting. Brilliant quilt. As always, you did a fantastic job.
