I quilted up The Backstory Quilt today. It is on it’s way to one of the only girl babies (and her mama) in my sphere. I loved using the back of the Kaffe Fassett fabric so much for parts of the front that I flipped the fabric over for the back and the binding. It is so soft and girlie. I quilted it in straight lines following the rectangular shape of the quilt.
This quilt was small enough I was able to display it from the mantel in our bedroom. My husband has designed and made most of the wood furniture in our house as well as both our fireplace mantels and the vanity in our bathroom. A few years ago when we were remodeling part of the house I drew a picture of the mantel that I wanted and he constructed this for me. So grateful for my guy.
This quilt is so gorgeous. I live the soft low volume feel. What a wonderful use of Kaffe fabrics.
Thanks! Love his fabrics (front or backsides)
I didn’t know Kaffe fabrics were capable of such gentleness. I love the quilt.
Thanks. Love flipping the fabrics around for a softer touch.
So beautiful! I am always amazed how quilters can mix together so many colours/patterns and it always turns out pretty!
And I am amazed at how people like you can put clothing together so nicely that it fits and looks nice.
Hahaha, okay! Thank you!
Love this quilt! I admire your quilting skills. What great color combinations and stitching.
I’ve just joined the duffle cargo sew along and found you on the flickr group. You’ve got amazing Photos and I’m really enjoying your blog. Glad I met you!
Hi Sonia! So nice to meet you. Wow, love your blog as well. Your makings are beautiful and we both share a love for French knots and the Red Cross shape. We are going to get along nicely. 🙂
