::Grape Crush::
I’m still playing with scraps from Pantone Pop and Psychedelic Baby. It seems I may have inadvertently created my first quilt series all based on use of the same fabrics.
From the scraps, I messed around with the Crazy Piecing technique detailed in Quilting Modern. I had no initial plan, but ended up with four pieced squares.
As I browsed the book for inspiration I thought of setting them in a design like the Tunnel Vision quilt from the chapter ‘Log Cabin Makeover.’
Getting the values right was the hard bit and I worried I would run out of lilac Heath fabric that seems to have vanished from the face of the earth. It took some innovative piecing, but I had enough.
The Seattle Modern Quilt Guild is exhibiting at Island Quilter in July. This will be my entry.
I’ve got some other projects that I have to get rolling on, like Roan’s birthday quilt and a quilt for Island Quilter’s June exhibit. This will give me a little time to think about the quilting on this one.
The piecing is stunning in those blocks!! I’m in love with this color combo– keep em coming!!:-)
I’m in Gig Harbor. I keep meaning to go check out this shop! If I go in July I will look for your quilt!
Just across the pond. It’s a wonderful shop!
Gorgeous!
WOW!! your color combos and innovative placement are so interesting to me!!! I love this one~!
I think I’m in love too!
This is really lovely. Can’t wait to dig into the book & continue to be inspired!
Wow! Love this! Absolutely beautiful, Katie!
Dee-lish!
So fabulous!!
your use of solids is stellar! such beautiful work katie! i really love this quilt~!
This has a very strong, almost hypnotic effect on me. It’s really drawing me in… Will you be able to put it away for a bit?
going to tackle it next month.
Love how this turned out!
Loving this…
Great quilt! I love how you combined the busy-ess of the scrappy squares and the neat-ness of the surrounding solids. Can’t wait to see it quilted.
I have a crush on your quilt. Okay, not just this one. All of the ones you’ve been making with these colors just make my modern quilt love overflow. Graphic and pretty and bold, yum.
I’m a little crushed out on this colorway too and actually have two more in the works…I think I officially have what one would call a ‘series.’ Thanks!
This quilt is so striking! I love the lilac heath as the background! 🙂
