Wow everyone, thanks for the love on my Pantone Pop quilt. I was able to battle the snow and get it to the shop as a sample for my Seeing Value Class coming up.
It seems that this quilt caught the eye of WordPress enough to make their Freshly Pressed page.
The quilt produced a flurry of questions so I thought I would address them here.
*Yes, it did snow and NO, I didn’t eat my quilt.
*Yes, I use equal parts of each color fabric. I listed the colors in the original post.
*The key to perfect points for me is cutting down my half-square triangles, see here.
*Finished squares are 6″.
*I believe the Quilting Loft is kitting this fabric bundle up for sale.
*The arrangement is totally random. After I finish the hts blocks I give them a shuffle and where they land is where they go.
*Information on how I make my dual layer quilt design wall is here.
*No, this quilt is not in the book.
*I’ll likely just quilt it in linear lines like I did for The HST LOVE quilt. That will have to wait until I get it back from the shop.
*Need further information? Come take the class!
We’ve dug out from the snow and are back on the usual program here in Seattle. I’m just itching to show you all an adaptation of a quilt from the book, but will have to settle with just my family, that truthfully haven’t even taken notice of how cool it is.
I’m looking forward to a Sew-In on Friday night with the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild and quilting this puppy.
Here’s to Friday not coming soon enough!
I love the kleenex box even! Congratulaions on the Word Press notice! Thos colors are what draws everyone, fabulous eye!
And huh? Eat your quilt?
glen
OHHHHHHH! LOL.
glen: but it would have tasted good, pommegranet and such!
i wish i could come to the class but its a tad too far! very fine quilt….just sings
wow Katie – love that quilt and the one on your design wall. Love them to bits!
Congrats on getting featured by WordPress! I’m not surprised. The quilt is beautiful as usual. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you have a way with triangles:)
I’m am extremely tempted to go make one! Love anything with simple large piecing, great colours too
It’s truly stunning, Katie. Definitely inspiring me to try my hand at working with solids for a new quilt.
Again love the quilt and your way with traingles and thanks for answering the questions. Oh if I lived closer that class would have my name on it.
Glad to hear you survived the snow!!!! Oh how I wish I could get north a bit for a class!! Maybe someday…. Thanks for taking the time to answer all those questions- super helpful!!!
Like the shape and sophisticated colors. This will look beautiful next to all the pretty cushions. So fun to see all your variations on the theme triangles!
Yay for featuring on the Freshly Pressed page, but as for the question, you didn’t eat the quilt? Man, just think of all that fibre you’re missing out on… 😉
Congrats on getting to the Freshly Pressed page. Awesome!
That is an absolutely gorgeous eye-popping quilt – I love it! The photo against the snow makes it stand out even more – great job!!
Totally love the colors. I find it hard to do random piecing; I want to “control” the outcome. The quilt is so colorful, I will attempt to give randomness a try!
I’ve got 2 stacks of 5″ squares on my cutting board getting ready to be made into HST’s, and this made me want to start another stack. AWESOME quilt. Today, you win the internet!
I absolutely love the bold colours, it is stunning. Very much wish I was close enough to take your class, it’s about time all those clever scientists got instant molecular transporters sorted out 🙁
Oh Katie, I am so in love!!!
