'bohemian on point' quilt

And here's my finish no.9 for the year, 'bohemian on point' quilt top, and I love it. I've used a scrappy selection of both Anna Maria Horner and Outback Wife fabrics, and repeated a few fabrics too. Some blocks merge, some are busy, and others are a definite light/dark combo.







I had it professionally quilted by Leeanne from quiltmekiwi in an edge to edge pattern called 'sweetheart'. I love how the quilting almost sinks into the quilt, letting the piecing & yummy fabrics remain the focus.




I made up a scrappy backing using leftover fabrics and rediscovered a useful fabric in eggplant for my binding, from 'mostly manor' collection by Victoria Findlay Wolfe. My finished quilt measures approx. 54" x76".
















Definite vibe of bold & bright colours still happening around here!
And joining in with Julie from julielou with a little 'dahlia spam' 


until next time, Linda

My gosh! I just love this quilt. Great job on design and color. The movement makes it interesting and the size variances give it order... great! LeeAnna

I love this quilt - definitely a bohemian vibe to it with those gorgeous clashy colours and patterns. Love the mix of AMH and Outback Wife. we may have to do a little dahlia tuber swapping in time for next summer, that is a pretty one.

As well making quilts you sure know how to snap great photo's! I have no dahlia's in my garden but would love some bright red ones. Thank you for letting me quilt for you.

Oh dear, I thought I had left a comment here Linda! What a treat with your fabric mix , the pattern really give the fabrics a chance to shine and take centre stage. I love dahlias so the more pics the merrier!
