I started this one back in November, shortly after quilt market. 2wenty THr3e (so weird to write it that way) was one of my favorite lines from market, and I managed to get two "candy" charm packs (2.5" squares).
I resolved that I would minimize the use of other prints and make a quilt top with them. After looking through my solids stash, I loved the look of Kona Pond with the 23(shortening here) palette.
I also used an unknown burgundy solid, in small bits. As you can see from the photo above, I started with blocks of strips, and used Kona Pond to fill in the rest.
A swirly free-motion pattern felt right on this; it's a very soft color scheme.
I had the best time quilting this one. I wrote my name and some other fun things.
The resulting texture is crinkly. delicious. comforting.
I used a variety of stashed remnants and more Kona Pond and burgundy for the back.
This one measures 50" x 64".
This one really challenged me; I have a hard time limiting prints and letting solids really shine. I love it.
i love that sea of blue and your quilting is really gorgeous. how different are our quilt photo backgrounds, eh? it's like we're on separate planets.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! I love how blissful your cat looks in the quilting photo :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. And has cat approval! Have a great week.
ReplyDeletewow! You are on a roll! This one turned out so good. I love that you challenged yourself on this one -- the limited palette and design really make it stand out. It's absolutely beautiful and your quilting is getting so good!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the blue :)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely!
ReplyDeletethis is so lovely, jacey! i love all that negative space and how it shows off your beautiful fmq!
ReplyDeletei love how this one turned out! you did, however, fail to mention that this is bella's quilt. clearly she's claimed it for herself!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I love that quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - really love the design and your quilting!
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice...I have to say I don't know if I like the front or back better on this though.
ReplyDeleteThis is nice, I love the colors. Cursive j's are one of my favorites to write. I bet it'd be fun to quilt it. :)
ReplyDeleteholy crap! i din't realize you finished 4 last month! you are amazing~! this is gorgeous jacey! perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteOoh, this is great! I love the burgundy bits with the light and bright prints.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for a lovely dinner last week - it was great to see you!
this is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the burgundy bits on the front, and well, everything else. THAT'S IT! I need to learn FMQ. You are just having too much fun with it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm just seeing this. How cool! I love the layout on the front!
ReplyDeleteI love this one Jacey!!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I love that you included your name in the loopy doodles (that sounds funny, doesn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteSo is this one for you to keep? I really love the front of this (the back is lovely too but the front really stands out for me). I find it interesting that I'm drawn to these that have small strips of different colors with wide swatches of plain fabric. It's unique and quite eye-catching! Your quilting, by the way, is impressive. But I'm curious to know what else you wrote besides your name? ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that you quilted your name in! It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this??! This is AMAZING, Jacey!! Definitely my new favorite quilt of yours!! It's gorgeous!
