When I was looking for inspiration for this quilt, two things came to mind. I have always loved the simplicity of Pia Wallen's Cross Blanket and I couldn't get this ombre sweater I saw on Erica's Pinterest out of my mind. I simply put the two together and came up with this! I like how the crosses almost disappear on one end of the quilt.
I mentioned how I love looking at the back of the quilt (the side that no one sees) and I love holding the quilt top up to the light and seeing the structure behind shining through. It reminds me of Korean Pojagi patchwork, something I really want to learn how to do one day.
The girls at the The Workroom helped me pick out the cutest fabric for the quilt back and I am hoping to baste it together in the next few days! I am thrilled with how it turned out and I look forward to sitting on the couch and hand quilting it together over the next little while! I will be thinking of our little girl with every stitch.
oh my gosh. this is amazing. and you have some awesome design and sewing skills. your little gal is so lucky!
ReplyDeleteWOW! just WOW!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most AWESOME quilt I have ever seen! I'm in love with Pia Wallen's Cross Blanket forever but I can't bring myself to spend this much on a blanket! Love your quilt even more...the ombre plus the crosses is PERFECT!

ReplyDeleteDe-lurking to say I love this quilt and have pinned it to my "Quilty Goodness" board on Pinterest (with proper credit, of course!). Feel free to follow me if you'd like: http://pinterest.com/lipglass/quilty-goodness/ I know you don't do a lot of quilts, but this is spectacular and I'd love to see more if/when you make more!
ReplyDeleteFormidable !
ReplyDeleteI made one like this and I linked back to you from flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/19681398@N03/9385324137/ Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! This made me want to try to make a quilt! And as much as I don't usually like to copy, I can see nothing than I could add, or take away, that would make it more perfect. I was wondering which fabrics you used? I was looking at Robert Kaufman Kona cottons, online, but unsure as I'm looking at a monitor and so inaccurate representation. As I don't have a store near me that carries much of a selection of kona,I'd be guessing and worry I'd pick warmer and cooler greys that wouldn't flow nicely together. Any help would be great but, either way I Thank you for posting this and giving me the creative spark to try it.
