Frank Lloyd Wright quilt

Hi! This was a nightmare, but it worked out oh so straight.

Top and bottom rows are priaire glass squared, a freebie on the windham fabrics website and the trees of life are from Jackie Robinson's book "Quilts in the Tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright." Fabrics by kaufman's Van Gogh line.

Thanks for being here :) it's one of my finishing traditions, to post a picture here :)

That is stunning in every way. I remember studying FLW architecture in a class in college. You translated the style into your quilt very well. It is truly a show piece.

​Beautiful!

KLO 10-09-2016 05:58 AM

Absolutely the most beautiful Wright quilt I have seen yet! I want to make one also but every time I read a write up from someone who has made one, they say it is a bugger to do and drove them crazy. Of course, since I am already a bit crazy maybe it won't make any difference. Still, I love your quilt and how you put those top and bottom rows on. That really set this in a league of its own. Wow!

Lilrain 10-09-2016 06:28 AM

It's beautiful.

Mariposa 10-09-2016 06:33 AM

Wow! Such a beauty! Well done~

buddy'smom 10-09-2016 06:46 AM

WOW, it's stunning, I love it.

ruthrings 10-09-2016 06:52 AM

OK... So into which major quilt show are you entering this work of art?

KarenK 10-09-2016 06:58 AM

Prairie Glass Squared has been on my "someday" list for a few years now. http://www.windhamfabrics.com/images...ss_squared.pdf

By combining the 2 quilt designs and using those beautiful nature colors, your quilt is splendid!

NIICHMOM 10-09-2016 07:06 AM

Thank You for sharing with us. I does look to be a challenge. But it is really awesome.

whitepine 10-09-2016 07:14 AM

What an awesome quilt! The Van Gogh fabric is perfect for this quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Yooper32 10-09-2016 08:40 AM

Oh, my Gosh, but that is one beautiful quilt.

sewbizgirl 10-09-2016 08:47 AM

I also say, STUNNING! And yes, it does look like it was a complete nightmare to make. So worth it now, tho. Great work!

RedGarnet222 10-09-2016 08:57 AM

What a great quilt! My brother would love to have one like this.

Trapunta 10-09-2016 09:13 AM

Very distinctive! A wonderful quilt!

lynnie 10-09-2016 09:16 AM

wow beautiful, must have been hard to keep tose lines straight. when t's all straight lines, it looks so easy, but is really hard because of warping. you did a wonderful job on this one.

Daylesewblessed 10-09-2016 09:34 AM

Wow! That is fantastic!

Maggie_Sue 10-09-2016 09:40 AM

NZquilter 10-09-2016 11:02 AM

Oh my word, that is stunning! What a beautiful quilt! The black strips with the royal blue look great. Magnificent job.

IrishNY 10-09-2016 02:00 PM

I love it! I made a FLW quilt that hangs in my office and I always wanted to make another. You may have inspired me to do so!

geevee 10-09-2016 02:02 PM
