Catch Me If You Can - top
 
I am so glad to have this floppy complete! It was more tedious than anything with all the paper piecing FG runs. Putting the sections together went a lot easier than I expected, so that was good.

I did not use batiks for this, and I think it turned out fine without them.

Great use of color. Way too complicated for my skill level. This is a masterpiece!

Beautiful work! What is your plan for this beauty? I don't think I could give that one away.

Mariposa 04-07-2018 06:25 AM

Congrats on the fantastic finish! Quite an accomplishment. Her patterns are so fun! :)

that is beautiful!

roguequilter 04-07-2018 06:43 AM

amazing!!
i agree it turned out "just fine" w/o batiks. in the early works of de jong & carol bryant (? ..can't remember her name, but she made quilts of brightly colored geometric 'progression' quilts) ..their quilts were made like your masterpiece here ...with brightly colored cotton fabric ..not batik.
beautiful quilt, i'm so glad you persevered and even gladder that you shared the result with us.

Oh my gosh, that is a work of art! I'd never have the patience for that.

Tartan 04-07-2018 08:13 AM

Gorgeous! It makes my brain hurt to even think about piecing that!

barny 04-07-2018 08:17 AM

Oh, my. That is the most gorgeous quilt I have ever seen. I don't know how you work and do this. There is no extra time for you, is there? Just beautiful! Barny

Breathtaking!

Beautifully done. I have that pattern and want to do it someday....but when is that. It is a beautiful quilt. I hope you enter it in some quilt shows. I know it could win some ribbons.

So very beautiful! Using non-batiks worked out beautifully-in fact perhaps better than batiks would have been. Your determination to finish is well rewarded for sure. Thank you for sharing your successful finish with us. Don't forget to show us again when the quilting is finished-I can hardly wait to see what you do.

It truly is a "work of art".

Nice ! Do you remember the movie “Catch Me If You Can”? I heard the guy interviewed on a podcast this week. He lived this life for 5 years before he was captured. (started at age 16). Has worked for the FBI for many years.

NZquilter 04-07-2018 10:37 AM

Stunningly beautiful. I would expect no less from you and your incredible talent. Hard to imagine you've only been sewing a few years. Do not put on the UFO pile. Get this quilted and finished.

Fabulous job! I'll have to study that pattern a bit more. Looks much like what I've had in my mind's eye for my own personal mariner's compass quit.
