This is my newest finished quilt! It's made with charm squares. The method I used to make the 4-patch blocks resulted in 2 identical blocks. So what I did was set them on opposite sides of the quilt. My abstract idea is that the center line is a mirror, and so it's projecting one side onto its reflection, which is exactly in reverse.
Oh, and I quilted on this in red. Usually I try to hide my quilting, so this was a big deal for me to relax enough to quilt with bright red thread on the white border. I love how it came out though :D |
This is a really cool quilt! I like the randomness, but also the fact that it's a reflection.

Awesome!

Look great Lucy, and your quilting looks great too. Way to go. :thumbup: :thumbup: :D :D :D
|
You did a great job! your quilting is awesome and if it helps you I see a heart in there! Outlined at the bottom with blue and topped with red!
|
It looks great! and the red is awesome glad you were brave enough to use it! :mrgreen:
|
Pretty! I like the white border on it too.
|
Very nice.
|
Omigosh, what a great job you did! Love charm quilts and love your bravery! Quilting sure teaches us many things! Sooo adorable!
|
Love the mirror image look and the red thread is a great touch.
|
I really like the randomness of the color pattern but the fact that its mirrored gives it a complexity in a nice abstract way. I am wanting to do a "scrappy" type of quilt and this is some serious inspiration!! :thumbup:

What a fun, fun, fun quilt! Love the two 4-patch blocks on the corners. That is clever!
|
That is so cool. And your quilting is wonderful. Great job.
|
That is so cool!!! I really, really love it!!
|
Lucy, I love the mirror effect! Really pretty. Your fmq is great, too and it was such a good idea to do it in red.
|

what a neat idea. it came out fantastic
|
WOW!! I love the mirror image, the quilting, the fabrics... :D :D :D
|
That's beautiful Lucy - the centre strip was inspired! It's turned it into a work of art, the movement through the quilt is just fantastic, and the more you look at it the more you see. I went back and saw the heart that crkathleen mentioned, then I saw 3 hearts nesting into each other. And quilting in red, I have to be brave enough to try a contrasting thread one day when my FMQ is better! Yours is fabulous! :D
|
Great idea. Love it.
Anyone else 'see' the suggestion of a shimmery heart shape in this quilt? I was leaning back from the computer, took my eyes off the monitor and looked back again and saw it. I think it's because of the mirror effect and the red squares that form the 'valley' of the heart. ranger |
Great job.

This is actually one of my first FMQ attempts. I just got the Flynn Quilting Frames and it makes my FMQ quilting going from :evil: to :shock: this is easy to :lol: . I don't know how well you can see it, but I used a different pattern on the squares. It's a bigger loop-y pattern then what I did with the white. I'm so happy with how this one came out. Thank you all for your kind words |
Oh, and another cool thing about this quilt. I BARELY PINNED! Everything except for 2 seams nested. That I was really proud of.
