Diamonds Jubilee Bargello Quilt
4 Attachment(s)
My son is getting married this summer and I made a quilt for the happy couple. I asked them for input as to the pattern and material, since it will be on their bed. My son remembered this pattern from a quilt I had helped assemble several years ago, and my DIL-to-be went shopping with me and chose the fabrics. I was so glad she went along because she chose from a color family I haven't worked with before and I didn't have the concept like she did. However, she chose beautifully and the finished quilt is quite pretty and looks just like Rachel, according to her mama. I was stymied a bit when I went to quilt it. I finally decided to follow the darker materials like a path and I quilted feathers wherever there was a dark spot. Some times the feathers went somewhere, sometimes they were like a medallion. In between I chose the cheater's way out and used stippling to cover the remaining ground. The border motifs were new ones for me and I especially enjoyed the larger flower motif that covered the largest border quite nicely. Thanks for looking!

You did a beautiful job, as did your DIL with the colour choices.

That is so well done. I sure hope your DIL decides to be a quilter. She has excellent color sense. Your quilting is very good. It finished out the quilt perfectly.

I have never been a bargello fan, but my dear, this is lovely. Interesting to look at and I bet a good challenge to create. And don't we love a challenge from time to time. :boy: Lovely colors.A beautiful gift for you son and bride.

Beautiful and tranquil - a great collaboration. Best wishes to the happy couple.

What a gorgeous quilt in my favorite colorway! I, too, haven't been attracted to bargello but this one is so interesting in its design. They will be thrilled and best wishes to the new couple.

Those colors are so dreamy. Absolutely gorgeous quilt!!
When I look at other peoples' quilting I need to get going and practice more! Mine is really not so good lol |
What a beautiful and lovely gift, I'm sure your son and new DIL will cherish it for years. I'm curious, does your DIL have quilting experience, her choice of colors are fantastic.

That's a beautiful quilt. I love the fabric/color choices. It makes for a more subtle and unusual bargello. Great job!
|
The colors do work beautifully with that pattern! You did a fabulous job on that quilt. It’s a lovely gift. Is Diamond Jubilee the name of the pattern?

I love your quilt work. It really sets off the center medallion. I'm sure the lucky couple will cherish this quilt.

She did great job picking out colors. Fantastic looking quilt.

What a lovely gift and memory for your son and dil. Having your future dil pick out the fabrics and your son the pattern was considerate of you...and very smart. Everyone has a different color sense so you can be sure your quilt will be cherished and appreciated for all your hard work. Lovely quilting, too.

You did an amazing job! I'm sure the couple will treasure it forever.
