First "real" quilt!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I made two of these to cover the ugly brown bench seats in our RV dinette. I used Valori Wells' Metamorphosis in Sapphire to cover the valances, and chose fabrics for the quilt to match. Eventually, the brown will be gone and color will reign supreme in the RV!

thanks!

Love the fabrics and colors. You did a great job on the quilt. The narrow orange binding with the white/ cream background makes the quilt pop!

I love it too. I love bright colors.

WOW - you did a really good job for your first quilt. I'm with you on the browns - cover them up!!!

Your work is just stunning, I thought the quilt was transparent at first glance.

QuiltnNan 01-08-2014 07:23 PM

Nice job!! The colors and placements makes it look 3-D.

Jackie Spencer 01-08-2014 07:41 PM

Cool! The colored blocks look like they are floating above the fabric. That is beautiful!!

This was my impression as well! I might just have to do something like this! Great job.

Great way to defeat brown ;-) Good job!

oldquilter 01-09-2014 04:46 AM

Really pretty, nice job.

PaperPrincess 01-09-2014 05:51 AM

Great job! The shade of grey you chose was just perfect for that floating block effect.

Homespun 01-09-2014 06:12 AM

Very nice--love how the colors "stand" out!

Okay, don't lie, you've been sewing a long time. This may be your first quilt, but OMG. My first quilt didnt' look like this. Ditto to above. from sewingsuz

haha, thank you! No, I've never sewed before (unless you count 30 years ago in Home Ec.), and I made a small, hideous wall hanging out of a bunch of HSTs before I made this. As to the FMQ, I drank a lot of wine and practiced on a lot of small sandwiches before finally getting the nerve to finally just do it. Oh, and the whole thing took me WEEKS! I am the slowest sew person ever.

But thank you again!

Tweety2911 01-09-2014 06:55 PM

The blocks look like they are floating! Beautiful and in such happy colors!

Mariposa 01-09-2014 07:19 PM

Slow you say???
I beat you on that, my first one took me 4, 5 or 6 years (on and off of course)
By the sound of it, you enjoyed doing it (wine included) and that end result is gorgeous !
