My friend Laurel and I made it over to Island Quilter to retrieve my quilts from the exhibit. I enjoyed viewing them one last time displayed together, but am so happy to have them back home where they belong.
I also snapped some photos. In the rush to finish things up in time for exhibit I neglected getting a photo of Psychedelic Baby Quilt all bound.
I’ve got shot cotton, linen and Kona in this one, all leftover scraps. The list of the materials can be found over at my Pantone Pop post.
The block is a mix of two quilts in the book.
Fractured.
and Swirling Medallion.
I really like the effect. Not having a plan, just enjoying the process of sewing can lead to good things.
My leftover half square triangles with the linen that DIDN”T make it into Pantone Pop became the impetus for this quilt. It wasn’t till the end that I thought I could turn it to be square rather than diamond. I think it makes it look a bit more modern.
Washed it is a crinkly delight.
It kinda matches the flowers in my back yard right now. Too bad the lilac flowers are gone.
and psssttt….a little bird told me about a sale:

I love everything about this quilt. IMHO your book is worth it alone to capture the techniques that make something like this come to life.
Wish I lived close enough to take one of your classes. I guess I’ll have to self learn with your book.
I agree with Cheryl. I love everything about this quilt as well. And it was nice going back to the link on Pantone Pop. LOVE that quilt too!
The flowers look nice.
it’s a jungle back here dad.
Not only that the quilt is in my eyes perfect, but it also has my favorite fabric as backing!
love that fabric too!
I giggled today, Katie, when to my surprise some of your wonderful qiilts pictured above greeted me at Quilting Loft! Em
Congrats, Katie, on such a nice party. I really respect how you designed it and feel like it must have been well received. You two really did this book thing right!
I really like the quilting on the psychedelic baby quilt. I enjoyed seeing all the peeks at your book last weekend.
I was able to see your lovely quits at Island Quilters and fell in love with the simple elegant beauty of your designs. Your use of color was inspiring. I had to purchase your book and know I will really try my hand at one of your designs, who knows maybe more than just one. I don’t usually make such spontaneous purchases but could not resist your great book. Please let your quilting author partner know how much I enjoyed all of your wonderful quilts. Joyce
thanks Joyce!
I am so loving seeing all these quilts and hearing about them. I *just* ordered your book today.
I absolutely love that combination of colors on the psychedlic baby quilt. If I paint the front door of my house blue, it would be a perfect match 🙂
I love, love, love the psychedelic baby quilt – the design, the colors, the quilting, the back – all of it! You are a quilty genius! Conrats on the book, I’ve been following the blog tour and it is getting rave reviews! Best wishes for continued success:)
Thanks so much! I’m a little smitten with it too.

Amazing quilts, really unique design!
This baby quilt is wonderful! I love the colors and improvisational design.
I love your psychedelic baby quilt!!!!! I am bummed to learn that your quilts are no longer at Island Quilter. My son lives in the area, and I had planned to see the exhibit while visiting. Now I’m here but your quilts aren’t 😉 I did bring my copy of your book with me though, so I’ll be able to enjoy looking at the quilts that way 😉
In July we’ll have the Modern Quilt Guild Quilts there and a reception on Friday July 6th from 6-9pm. See you there?
Unfortunately I won’t be here for the reception but will be back in time to at least see the MQG exhibit…think I read that the quilts will be on display for at least a few weeks?
Through July.
I’m absolutely in love with this quilt! One of my favorites of yours for sure!!
I love your book! The designs are so fresh an fun. The psychadelic baby might be a favorite
Even with you book; I’m not sure how you made that awesome baby quilt. You’re a “fabric magician”. Any chance you could show us how you did it?
oh my, just saw this beautiful quilt with the most awesome backing!
what fabric is it?
you are such a talented quilter, i really admire your work.
Thanks so much! The backing is a Kaffe Fasset fabric. I believe it is called Paperweight. Hope you’re enjoying Quiltcon.
