I was afraid to quilt this one!

I originally posted this quilt under http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t192967.html and asked for suggestions on how to quilt it, because I was intimidated by this quilt. I loved the piecing and didn't want to ruin it!
I finally hunkered down and decided my original idea of different elements in the colors would work, if I didn't overdo it. I used the elements of fire, water, sun, air, ground (mountain), heat, and plants. I'm not going to identify which is which, I'll let you decide for yourself! I love the final look of this quilt, and although it came out a little bigger than planned, I appreciate that there is a lot of room under it, for I live with a cover thief! I learned a lot quilting this top. I learned I can do "fancy" free motion and it looks fine to me. I even enjoyed doing it! I learned to pace myself, and most especially not to fear my quilt! Enjoy! |
You did a great job on a magnificant quilt
|
Wow! That's a huge quilt and I love that you tied the machine quilting in with the 'elements' expressed by the colors.
That's a lot of work! Great quilt. |
I love the colors and your quilting. The different patterns you quilted for each color is wonderful. Keep it up.
|
Very very pretty! First ideas or thoughts are usually the right ones, great job!
|
well, you did a wonderful job.
|
Beautiful job!
|
Bravo!!! You did a marvelous job of not only FMQ'ing, but of interpretation of your color areas and implanting them on the color sections. I can only wish for such confidence and results, but you have mastered it.
|
You certainly did a beautiful piece of art. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come!

All I can say is WOW! I am so, so impressed by this quilt - the colors really jump out at you and the quilting on your home machine is fabulous...I just looked at it saying, "I wish I could do that".

I love it and how you made each block connect with the design - what a one of a kind - super job.
|
Really pretty quilt, the colors are perfect. Nice job on the quilting. I understand the intimidation factor. When you've worked hard on something and it looks so good, it's hard to start in with something that has the potential to make a mess. You did the right thing, just jump in and go for it. Now that you've done it, you'll never look back or fear your quilts again.
|
It looks wonderful!
|
Beautiful quilt and beautiful quilting.
