I'm a very slow and easily distracted quilter. Or maybe it's just that I like to take the scenic route! Yes, that's it!
I started this top five years ago and had no plans for it to end up so big, but it kind of had a mind of its own. I've worked on it, put it away, pulled it out again, set it aside, and finally decided to ignore all my other machine-stitched projects, and push through to finish it. So I did, at 4 a.m. Sunday morning. Yippee! Not sure if I'll have it quilted, or handquilt it myself. So, for now, it'll go onto my "pondering" pile.
Now to continue with my Indian Feathers (see March 20 post), and my next "get it done" machine-pieced project, a partially-assembled queensize-plus top in pink and brown 19th century prints. This next one I definitely will be hand-quilting, and would love to have it finished and in use this year.
A peek:
I'm confused, is the one above the indian feathers ortheone in the other post?
ReplyDeleteIndian Feathers is in previous posts, with all the little diamonds. It's my priority "handpiecing project", and now the pink and brown triangle one has moved into my priority "machine pieced project" spot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful newly finished quilttop! I think all of us who quilt are the same - we have projects stashed away that sometimes are years in the making. Some of mine will never be finished but I justify it by the fact that I have finished many and someday someone may be pleased to find some of the unfinished ones. Your triangle quilt is a stunner, also.
ReplyDeleteWow...I love that new quilt top. Thanks for visiting my blog, and it sounds like we are kindred spirits in the way we work! Scenic route here I come!

It is gorgeous. I know the feeling of finishing something that has been laying around for ages. Makes me think of my blue disaster..sigh....... Seems never to get off my WISP list.
ReplyDeleteThe triangles at the bottom look so pretty. Is it going to be a small quilt?
I am so glad that you got the quilt done, as it is gorgeous! I am trying to finish my three UFOS, so you have inspired me.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!

The pink & brown triangle quilt will be approximately 96" x 108"....so....no, not "too" small ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy to provide some inspiration, Micki.
Oh, how I love pink and brown quilts! Gorgeous. Like the other one too, and your hexagons from a couple posts ago look great.
ReplyDeleteThey're both wonderful... Love the Boxy Stars top and love the way your pinks and browns are looking...Really amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI agree... very inspiring :D
