- party in the quilt back
And here's my 'Marjorie' quilt, another recently finished quilt that has now been gifted. I used a pattern from Jennifer @penelopehandmade. My colour concept was simple, I was (loosely) channeling a soft pastel "Bridgerton" vibe, with colours of soft blues, springtime pinks & peach, and lavender. All the colours seem to dance softly over & around the dutchman's puzzle blocks.
For my backing I used two vintage sheets from a local Hospice shop, which I cut into strips and inserted three leftover blocks. I think the back complements the front of the quilt nicely with those extra blocks tucked in there. Best of all, it's a little surprise when the quilt is turned over!
And I had it quilted in an e2e 'peeling good' panto by Leeanne @quiltmekiwi.
I chose an early Henry Glass stripe in purple for the binding, I think it works perfectly with these colours.

Happy weekending, Linda
This is so pretty in the pastel fabrics, happy stitching!

ReplyDeleteWisteria, very romantic and once established it can take over! I like Dutchman's Puzzle Block and you have good contrast to bring out the beauty of the design.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colour combinations in this quilt. Fresh and vibrant. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteSo softly serene, with the hopeful vibe of a warm spring day. This may be one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteLove these colours Linda.
