Default a rather wild quilt top...

I just finished this quilt top, made with two wild fabrics that I requested for Christmas. When the fabric got here, I couldn't help but wonder "What was I thinking?" The fabrics seemed too wild , not at all what I thought they would be.

However, I think I have figured it out. This pattern is Take Five, from Teacher's Pet. If there is a designer other than Teacher's Pet, I can't seem to find it. (I admit that I may no longer have all of the pages of the pattern....)

I am actually quite pleased with it. My son says it is a modernistic swimming pool and a quilter friend says it is a modernized ocean. I just like it. I added all the turquoise to try to soothe some of the wild fabric...which I will include a close up of.

Thanks for looking.

Dina

I love the look of this! Definitely not "too" wild, I think it's perfect and open to interpretation! Well done!

My kind of fabric, the brighter, and the bolder the better. Your quilt looks great!

I, like you, would have said, "What was I thinking". How ever you mastered it! Great work out of some wonky fabrics this all works together as if it were made just for this quilt.
