My Client brought me this quilt and said - I just want some feathers on it, and make it look pretty. You know? I think I like it when Clients say that. I had a BLAST quilting this quilt.
In the purple I drew curving feathers, and in the whites I offset the curviness with straight lines.
I really liked this effect!
In the tiny purple border I used a squiggly line that echoed what I did in the white.
I have loved working on this quilt! It has quite a history... in 2011 Judy over at Patchworktimes.com decided to host a Monochromatic quilt challenge. In February the color violet was chosen... so I dug in to the purple stash. I wasn't sure I had *violet* but I was determined to see what I could find.
This is what I made.... with all the tons of strips that I cut up... but I had more!!
So I started in on a Purple Pineapple quilt - Pattern courtesy of Quiltville.com And I am happy to say - it is finished!!!! Quilted and ready to bind!
This is a quilt that I made with a layer cake. I just love it! It is very springy and happy looking. After I made it I kind of struggled with what to quilt on it, I wasn't sure who exactly it was for. So I chose a feather and waves. I really like how it turned out.
There are wonderful butterflies, and just enough Black and White to give it a great modern look.
This back!! I just love it - it is hot pink with orange. Reminds me of Hawaii. Although I have never been to Hawaii....
And here is the full shot - it measures 54 x 62. I used Warm and Natural Batting in it. Ad bound it in Lime Green
