A Chevon, with a twist
 
4 Attachment(s)
Here's my latest baby quilt--this one is for a good friend's daughter. Don't look too closely at the quilting, I was really not "on" that day. It looks better if you are speeding past in a car :p Don't know if I like the Baptist Fan design on this one; I think it kinda takes away from the optical illusion of the piecing. Oh well, live and learn.[ATTACH=CONFIG]479231[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]479232[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]479233[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]479234[/ATTACH]

I think it's a very cute quilt and you did a great job with the quilting. I wouldn't hang my head over this one!

I think your quilting choice actually added to the illusion. Beautiful job!!

Very pretty quilt

QuiltnNan 06-15-2014 01:31 PM

it looks great. i think the baptist fan is fine... as i look at it, my eyes go back and forth between the piecing and the quilting

tessagin 06-15-2014 01:34 PM

It is beautiful! Lift your head proud, my dear. Absolutely love it. and the colors.

Lady Jane 06-15-2014 02:44 PM

What are you talking about? It turned out great.

Beautiful! Such unique colors. I think the quilting looks really nice too

I love your quilt! I think the Baptist Fan quilting enhances the quilt - not takes away from it! Great job!

I think this is beautiful and love the quilting. I'm starting to do a little practice with machine quilting and I'm studying yours...not looking for faults! I promise! But trying to think how you did it. The stitching on the border that looks like piano keys...how did you do that? Did you go inside out, stitch over and back down outside in? Or did you go all one direction? It looks like that would be A LOT of work! Thank you for your input.

awesome quilt

dunster 06-15-2014 04:54 PM

I think the quilting is great for this design. It really keeps the eye moving. Beautiful colors.

TerryQuilter 06-15-2014 05:42 PM

I stitched up/across then down/across. Didn't like the way that looked on the back, so changed to my walking foot and did straight stitching--a real hassle turning the quilt all the time--it looked a lot better. Thanks for all the kind comments, the more I look at the quilt, the more I see the movement and it looks pretty good :)

Beautiful quilt in my favorite color! That wonderful lime green. The quilting is stellar and adds to the interest!

Lovely quilt. I actually think the quilting adds to the quilt.

selm 06-16-2014 06:49 AM

This is a great quilt. I'm not sure what optical illusion you are referring to, but I like the way the baptist fan design seems to soften the chevron design. I many times feel that a chevron design is very jarring to look at.
You did a fine job on the quilting by the way.

I was thinking the same thing! If I were quilting that I am not sure it is a pattern that I would have chosen, but you made me look at it in a different way.

I would consider it a Classic quilting motif, but now I am thinking I would also like it on a modern quilt. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

Harmony 06-16-2014 09:53 AM

It's lovely! The Baptist fan quilting adds a lot of interesting movement--I think you did great!

anndr 06-17-2014 03:23 AM

I love this pattern? Would you please share the name of the pattern? Colors are gorgeous! Thanks! ~~Ann~~

twinkie 06-17-2014 03:53 AM

Beautiful quilt! Nothing to hang your head over!

Jammin' Jane 06-17-2014 04:18 AM

It looks fantastic! You did a great job on it!! :)

Love the quilt and the quilting. Fans are my favorite quilt motif but challenging for me :-).

debbieoh 06-17-2014 06:27 AM

I think its beautiful including the quilting you do on it. I wish I could do 1/4 as good as your quilting is

quilterpurpledog 06-17-2014 07:29 AM

Love the colors and I think your Baptist Fan design adds to the illusion-lots of interesting things to see!

Norad 06-17-2014 08:37 AM

You have nothing to worry about with this quilt. It's awesome.

llong0233 06-17-2014 08:44 AM

Great quilt. That's some very nice machine binding. Beautifully done.
