a new queen sized quilt top finished today
 

I've been struggling with getting this together- ran out of certian fabric & had to find a replacement 2 or 3 times- i have 2 large boxes full of nautical/lighthouse/sailing related fabrics & none of the blues were right with what i started with---that's what i get for just jumping in with a fabric i wanted to use up- then finding i have nothing to go with it---it was a challenge but i finally managed to get it to the queen size i needed- and it doesn't look so bad on the bed- i still now have to figure out a backing & get it quilted & bound- but at least the hard part is done[ATTACH=CONFIG]362916[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]362918[/ATTACH]

Doesn't look so bad on the bed??? I'll say not! It looks beautiful. Congratulations on coming up with a very attractive layout for your nautical prints.

it looks great... i think you blended the fabrics just right :thumbup:

You did a fantastic job! Well done.

That is very striking. Everyone will think you have executed it perfectly and think you planned it that way.

This is a beautiful quilt! Fabric choice is perfect!

hey ya can just throw one together for me lol. I really like it. I think you did a great job on it.

thank you everyone- i love it when a (plan comes together) :D
i don't know why i had so much trouble with this one- well i do know why- the teal blue fabrics not going with all the sky blues i have in my stash-but i managed- now i really need to get busy & productive- get a couple more put together...i also need to figure out backing for this one...i need a new serge protector before i can plug the long-arm back in- so ---gosh maybe i need to make a list....

Hi CK - Wow - that turned out to be a beauty! I'm headed up that way and hope to see some beautiful Michigan fall colors!! We are having beautiful weather here in Central FL.

Beautiful quilt.

you did well.

Great quilt, looks like it was planned in advance.

What l see goes well together

Love the lighthouse panel in the center, and water never has one color of blue, so I'd say it works fine!

Wow, it looks good. It may not be what you planned, but it turned out so well.

That turned out soooo nice!

Oh, that's a very lovely quilt!

Very nice, I would say it turned out perfect! I have a collection of nautical prints that some day will get made into something. Right now I get them out and pet them. ;~)

boy, i know how that goes! i have been (fondling) my nautical fabrics for a long time- sometimes i feel guilty for not using them- finally decided i really need to start making with them---this is the first-- i am glad it came together - but i have to admit- it was really difficult to start cutting into those fabrics! :D


oh- and Scraps....the colors are just really starting to change nicely- should be quite beautiful by the time you get up here! :)

Wow that is beautiful,love the colours.

Looks beautiful love it especially the colors

Nice work. Love it.

you did a beautiful job on this! If you don't like it, send it my way!!

I love the use of the different blues. Each blue picks us something in different pieces. It's a beautiful quilt top.

Beautiful! Design and fabrics are just perfect!

I just love it - Great Great Job!

That is a beautiful example of how to use a large pictorial fabric and large motif prints. I think it came out as a terrific large quilt. I hope you'll post a final photo when it is quilted.

very nice and unique.great top

Beautiful work. Love the colors.

I love it! Lighthouses and nautical are my favorites. I just can't seem to get enough of them.

I love lighthouses and your quilt would be just wonderful here! You did a FANTASTIC job! I have some lighthouse prints, could you do one for me??? No, seriously, yours is absolutely beautiful. Would love to see the UP. Keep up the wonderful work!

Looks great!!!!!!

That is very kool. BrendaK

Wow, I like the unique fabrics & the beautiful quilt you made.

I have some of the blue nautical. I need to do something with it. My ex-sil was in the Navy so I'm sure my DGS would like something with ships and lighthouses. If not, his mom would. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Beautiful, wonderful job with all the blues. It is hard to believe there are so many different shades of pinks,blues,browns, greens, really all colors and that makes some very hard to match up.

Nice, Nice, Nice, I need to do something like this for one of my sons. You have inspired me.

Being a sailor, I absolutely love what you did with these nautical fabrics.

How cute is that....love it..
