I often claim to have a Quilting "Hobby" in attempts to hide my obsession with fabric and color.

What to call it?
Well, I finished the quilt top. And it's so large I had to lay it out in my living room.
It's like the Hulk and the Purple Phantom got in a fight.....Grapes of Wrath.....Aurora Borealis on steroids.
But anyone who knows me knows this quilt is right up my ally. I love love love Purple, and something about purple and green together is magical. And man are some of these fabrics crazy. I have a person in mind for this quilt, but it might be a little larger than she was thinking of. It's roughly 78"x90" or a generous full/comfy queen size.
Not sure what color to back it with, but powerful colors demand something a little less loud, but not your boring old beige either.
I plan to machine quilt this with a black thread, to highlight the secondary pattern in the quilt top. And make it washable, because this thing just screams weekend nap quilt!
Heave ho, here we go!

ReplyDeleteI think it's gorgeous!! Hmmmm..... maybe a navy blue back? Then it doesn't compete with the beautiful purples and greens.
ReplyDeleteI think cozy comfort, when I look at this.
Beautiful job :O)
your quilt is beautiful. The black looks like stepping stones, over the pastels which remind me of a flower garden. What about "Garden Path" ?
