I finally finished the binding on this quilt. It only took me a year! I bought the Kaffe Fassett fabrics in a kit at the very first quilt show I attended last year. Wish I had a yard of each print! I really adore his stuff. The backing had to be pieced. Backings always mess me up! Bones thinks it's his quilt. Silly dog.
The gorgeous quilting was done by Eagle Mountain Quilting: http://www.eaglemountainquilting.com/ No, I didn't plan it like that! [ATTACH=CONFIG]50625[/ATTACH] Big stretch after his morning nap. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50651[/ATTACH] |
Awesome! That is gorgeous. Is it just triangles? Looks like a perfect 1st quilt to try.
|
Love it. His fabrics are my FAVORITES right now! I just got his new book called Quilt Romance...I pretty much plan to make every quilt in the book and hang them in my house - would make great wall pieces!!
|
Simply gorgeous, and I love those materials!!
|
Chele,
Your quilt is beautiful. I love the colors. |
Beautiful fabrics......hard to describe just "how" beautiful they are....
I am glad to hear of a source for machine quilting--my choices are limited where we live. How long do they usually take? |
Beautiful! Love those fabrics and simple quilt design--and nice backing too. So KF is a he--didn't know it was a person rather than a company name.
|
Very pretty. I like the bright colors. :D
|
Joan, Eagle Mounting Quilting is very fast! They are quite reasonable too. Even with shipping, the quilting costs are usually much less expensive than my local quilt shop. And my local shop is so backlogged most of the time.
Kaffe Fassett is a person! Here's his site: http://www.kaffefassett.com/Home.html Sorry I spelled his name wrong in the title. Can't fix it now. |
The colors are just striking I want a yard of each too! Very pretty quilt!
|
A classic, understated Chele special!
Just kidding you, girl, it's beautiful! :D :D :D And your little Bones looks like my Dougal Dog - is he a dachshund? |
My dachsies always have to do quality assurance checks on my stuff also, LOL.
Beautiful quilt. |

Bones is a miniature dachshund. It's really funny how many quilters have doxies. Here's his usual pose on the couch. Note the dog-made nest.
|
Fantastic colors! I love the way it keeps your eye moving over the quilt!
|
Your quilt is so bright and pretty....it sparkles.
Bones is adorable. ranger |
Wow!!!! Your quilt is beautiful. And Bones is so cute.

I really love the K.F. fabrics, and your quilt turned out great! I'm in love with your little inspector, too. Wow, what a cutie.
|
Aww what a sweet pic of Bones - he knows a comfy spot when he finds one! :D My Dougal is a mutt but he's definitely got dachsund in him, mixed with Jack Russel I think. :D
|
WOW! What a beautiful quilt and what a great job you did! When I "grow up" (LOL, I'm 58), I want to quilt like that!!! I love Kaffee's quilts and own several of the books, but I am afraid to start one as my quilting is VERY basic. I am enjoying this great Board and am hoping to learn and get inspired.
Thanks all! Tensi |
Bones is TOO cute! I have two strays who are my babies. Much larger than Bones, though. I also have 19 parrots (all adopted) and one bunny, also a stray my husband found in the part when he was tiny. We have a ZOO!

Gorgeous quilt!! How large are your blocks and how big is the quilt?? I love that fabric and am heading for that site now!
|
Love it and I can see why you love the fabric, they're great!
|
Great Job Chele. I love those fabrics.
|
Love it (and Bones, too).
|
It's a beauty Chele! His stuff is so gorgeous!
|
I love your quilt. The colors and design couldn't be better. Very nice job!
|
Very pretty quilt! And Bones is adorable.
|
Kaffee Fassett fabrics are just scrumptous! And so is your quilt!!
|
Great quilt. I did not know that designer, will have to check out his line. THANKS!!!
|
Your quilt is so pretty!! Bones is adorable!
|
I love your quilt. It's so pretty. They back is great too. It could be reversible. Great job.
|
Chele, another beauty!!! I just love your bright fabrics!!! Good Job :D :D :D
|
Chele I love your colorful quilts! This one is awesome. I bought a Kaffe Fassett book a couple years back at a quilt show. For some reason, when I go thru a catalog or page on internet of his fabrics, they are just too "out there". But, when you put them all together in one of his quilts they are stunning. I'm inspired. Thank you Chele!
|
I love your quilt!! The colors just "pop" off the monitor!!!
I've always been partial to doxie's... my family has always had one up until the last 5 years or so... they're always so sweet, and will protect their family to the very end... |
Yummy colors, Chele. Great pattern!
|
Lovely quilt!!!
I found a sales site devoted to Kaffe Fassett's fabrics: http://www.gloriouscolor.com/index.php morecloth.com is a way to vew the fabric families |
Hey Chele, are those 5" charms cut diagonally? I see where it's very common to be able to buy charm packs of K.F.'s fabrics!!! I love what you did with YOURS!!!
|
It's beautiful. Love the little quilt inspector. He's a cutie.
|
Chele, this is beautiful. I can kind of see a square in a square in the overall pattern. My eyes just keep moving from one fabric to the next and admiring each.
