::Spring To Seattle::

April 2, 2013 By Katie

Sewkatiedid | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Nicquelle's quilt

Niquelle’s Quilt is finished.  My intension now is to make a larger one that her family can lovingly use in her memory.

sewkatiedid | Seattle Modern Quilting & Sewing Studio | Nicquelle's QuiltSince Seattle is in full bloom I detoured through the arboretum on my trip to Columbia City to visit Stash.  I knew the blossoms on the trees would fully compliment the soft colors in this quilt.

sewkatiedid/Niquelle's quiltThis tree and its low branch had photo shoot written all over it.

sewkatiedid | Seattle Modern Quilting and Sewing Studio | nicquelle's quietI love everything about this quilt.  Not only does it have some favorite prints thrown in there, but I included a mix of fabric types as well.

Flannel, double gauze, linen blends and quilting cottons are all present.  So sad to see the Amy Butler Wallflower in mustard and the Heather Ross Moons go, but so happy to see them in a quilt!  The tactile effect is hard to explain.  It is somewhat heavier than most quilts, but also light and soft.

Sewkatiedid/Nicquelle's QuiltI spent some time with my friend Sandie quilting it on her long arm.  I mentally struggle sometimes with not home machine quilting all my quilts, but quickly got over it on this one!  We quilted it with purple, pink and white variegated thread.

Sewkatiedid/nicquelle's quietThe swirl pattern is perfect and when I finish my mermaid one I will likely do the same.  Then I will do this design again and again and again… The pattern shows well from the back on the solids.

sewkatiedid/Nicquelle's QuiltThe side triangles that I cut in half (or actually in half plus a quarter-inch to make them an actual half triangle with binding on) to create the edges of the quilt went into the backing.  Some angle piecing went into its construction and some other scraps made their way in to create the panel.  I always seem to go vertical with back panels.

Sewkatiedid/Nicquelle's QuiltI finished it off with the Erin McMorris Weekends fabric that was included in the front.  Sorry, that’s a load of photos…can you tell I love it?!

Keli at Make*Do*Mend and I just added this class to the calendar.  If you wanna combine some fun fabrics together and learn some mad skills join us on Saturday, May 4th from 10am-4pm at the studio.

    Niquelle’s quilt is beautiful, front and back – I just love it! I think what I most like is the panel on the back. And you are absolutely right about the quilting; it sets off the whole quilt perfectly!

    I was under the assumption you should never mix fabric types and weights in a quilt. Is that no longer an issue? The idea was the different fabrics would wear out at a varying rate. At any rate, the quilt is gorgeous. I especially love the way you did the back.

    Love the back on this quilt…the front it goes without saying. Isn’t it funny how you tend to go vertical with the bands on the back…me too. Hhhmmmm, why I wonder? For me probably a deep seated desire to be taller πŸ˜‰

    I love this quilt. I think it’s the colours. It just looks snuggly. And I think your pieced back is a delight! Oh and I love how many photos there are – lots of different perspectives!

    Oh my, I can definitely see why you love it. I wish I could make one exactly like it! Ha! Congrats on a beautiful finish!!
