This was my oldest unfinished top, I think. I made it in the 90s during a class with Lynn Graves. Found the border fabric at Joanns and it tied it all together. Quilted by my machine quilter with a ribbon design since it needed simplicity.

I am not a contemporary quilter and this is the wildest design I have ever done. Most of the color fabric was leftovers from kits and scraps. It has several Benartex cat fabrics that fit in with the colors.

Very pretty. Love those bright colors!

I LOVE it!!

The quilt looks like it could have been made this month instead of a more than a decade ago. Nothing dated about it at all.

And that's certainly not a log cabin layout you see everyday. I'm keeping a copy for future reference.

It must feel great to have it finished. :thumbup:

I wish I could have that feeling. I've got some oldies but goodies laying around here. Maybe one of these days. :roll:

Hey, I know you. You showed this at quilt guild meeting last Thursday. I was behind you in line and said how much I liked the border with it. Small world. Looks even better in person people.

blueangel 06-12-2011 05:44 AM

It's beautiful.

BeckyL 06-12-2011 07:10 AM

I really like your quilt. I enjoy cheerful things.

Joan 06-12-2011 07:14 AM

Your quilt just points out that quilts can look contemporary (nontraditional).

I personally love all of the colors. It must have been fun going through your scraps to make this happen! :thumbup:

I hope your eyes have recuperated from sewing all those spots & bright colors. :-) It's a really great quilt, glad you found just the right fabric for the border.

I love it.

Yooper32 06-13-2011 03:57 AM

"Kitty" says, "which way do I go?". That is one complicated looking quilt and I think it is amazing. You are right, the striped fabric finished it off to perfection.

glowworm 06-13-2011 04:20 AM

totally fabulous

laalaaquilter 06-13-2011 04:21 AM
