For the past six months, when I've had some spare evening moments, I've stitched away at it.
I've straight line quilted it fairly densely, which has taken time but been completely worth it.

| I am reliably informed the quilt is being held upside down - oops |
It's given it a fantastic texture.
I originally blogged about the piecing of the quilt here which gives details of the pattern I purchased from Chris Jurd. It's been a brilliant pattern to just use up all those random scraps and will definitely be a family heirloom.
I just need to find something else now to do in spare evening moments.
Happy New Year to you and yours! I love this quilt, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's an epic piece of work, and you should be justifiably very proud of yourself. There's really only one solution to the slightly lost feeling: start another quilt, quickly! Hope your New Year is a wonderful one, with best wishes from Down Under.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Kate, above - this is just epic. I'm enjoying "finding" all the fabrics. Amazing work!!
ReplyDeleteA thing of beauty for sure! Congratulations on a wonderful finish! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteOh what a beauty just bursting with colour, I love it! Great finish.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Just amazing. It must have been so much fun to quilt this! Did you use perle cotton? I was studying some of your stitching and it looked like it was variegated thread, too. It's sad when it's over, isn't it. Time for the next masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work! I love how you put fabric together. Every time you have a new quilt I'm so excited to see what you've done next.:)
ReplyDeleteUpside down or not, it's still a masterpiece! Shame you don't enjoy EPP to keep your fingers busy ... looks like you'll just have to make another awesome quilt to hand quilt instead :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. You have a way with color!
ReplyDeleteWent and got this pattern and one more Chris Jurd patterns. Can't wait to see if mine is as beautiful as your's is.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilts. I love that you are not afraid of colour, of pattern or mixing fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning, definitely an heirloom piece.
Happy New Year.
You described your earlier finish as 'rich and moody and luxurious and eclectic', and this one is too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! It looks a bit like Mickey Mouse upside down. :) You could hand quilt your "Self Indulgent" quilt, but I think you need to start an epic hand pieced quilt. You could hand piece a La Passicallia with me. Ummm...maybe not, you would totally finish yours a year before me. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt's positively brilliant. A feast for the eyes : )
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteIt is incredible. well done actually finishing a hand quilted quilt. happy 2016
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning and I bet all that hand quilting has given it a lovely texture. Have you chosen your next 'spare evening moments' project yet?!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is is so inspiring!
DeleteLove your colour combination!
