A HUGE thanks to all friends, family, blog followers, students, fabric whores collectors and excited quilters that popped into the Quilting Loft for the book signing. It made my day and I was one happy camper. It wasn’t till I sat down for dinner that I realized I hadn’t eaten anything all day.
I’ll get some photos collected from my friends for a future post of the fun day.
Now onto the final push to finish last-minute things before my Island Quilter exhibit reception on Friday! I finished off the quilting on Psychedelic Baby this afternoon before I went to work. I really wanted this quilt in the exhibit.
As always, I quilt faster in my head than in real life, so I had to set aside a few ambitious quilts and suppress those ‘I want to start a new quilt’ feelings.
Psychedelic Baby only needs a binding.
I’m thinking the red.
Whatcha think?
I feel a new class coming on.
This is fabulous! I agree that the red binding will bring all the colours together….it sits there naturally. I love it!
Yes, the red!! What a fabulous quilt. Love it.
Totally the red! LOVE everything about this quilt! Stunning!
Loving your psychedelic baby, especially with the red binding. Glad the signing went well 🙂
I love it! I’ve had a stitch-n-flip quilt in mind for awhile, and after reading your book I think it’s going to be a medallion style. Although that could always change by the time I cute the fabric!
I adore this quilt. Yes on the red, perfect!!
I LOVE this quilt. The red binding is perfect. The color harmonies just sing!
Yes, definitely the red! Awesome quilt!
It’ll look perfect with the red binding. Awesome quilt. And thanks again for the fun at the book signing. The book is really one I’ll use and learn from!
Love this quilt! Red binding is perfect.
I am in love with this quilt! Are you going to make a pattern or teach a class?
The red binding would be fab!
going to do a class. hope you come!
Oh, my gosh! I love this quilt, it’s really wonderful!
Ack, this is so cool! I think the red binding is great, too!
(Also, I happen to be flying into Seattle on Friday!! I wish I could make it over to your opening, but I have to drive up to Vancouver that night. Best of luck!!)
The red is perfect. Go with it
I adore this quilt! Stunning!
This quilt needs a red binding! Awesome quilt. Such a great pattern!
Wow the quilt is stunning! Red is perfect for the binding. Good luck with the book signing. Any chance of you crossing the pond to do a book signing in the UK?
wouldn’t that be fun!
The red is lovely and it works. I’d almost be tempted, though, to use the blue so that the eye stays moving on the fractured centre of the quilt and not pulled out to the edges.
It’ll be beautiful no matter what. I really love this one.
WOW!!
Oh man I love this quilt! Can’t wait until it’s done so I can pin it for later inspiration! I love the red but I also think the deep lilac could give a nice calming effect (same idea as citricsugar up there). So your question is – spice it up or cool it down? 🙂
red, red, red…go for it.
WOW! A definite yes on the red. And, yes, that would make a great class!
This is beyond words kind of amazing!!! Love the red binding too!
Wow, really beautiful.
So sorry to be missing both of your book signings. Love the pop of the red binding.
your quilt totally brought back a memory for me. when i was little every summer we’d visit my grandparents. they had an old mac with kidpix on it that we were allowed to play with. {pretty big news for three kids that weren’t allowed to watch tv} i would lay down a background of bright colors and then use one of the tools to slice and dice it creating an end product similar in style to your quilt.
so much fun! {and red totally works for the binding!}
katie. i love this. so beautiful. how in the world do you quilt and not have puckers all over the place? do you spray baste? do you pin? do you do both? p.s. i LOVE the red.
I have an awesome Bernina which takes care of most of that problem and then I have OCBD or obsessive compulsive basting disorder.
katie, i love this quilt and would totally take this class!
I love your quilt! I wish i was in the right area to come to a class for this one if you do one
I love this design. My 5 year old peering over my shoulder has declared that “Mum, that looks cool. You need to make that one next!”. He has no idea how many I already have on the go…
Wowzers!! What a stunning quilt. Love it!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this quilt. Perfect blend of colors. Perfect “psychedelic” pattern. I only wish I was as talented to ever try something similar.
you could do it!
What do I think? I think it’s so great! Like it so much. Always love your color combinations.
thanks so much, would trade some color love for an ounce of your photo talent.
