Very pretty!

Butterflyspain 07-31-2010 04:39 AM

BTW I must tell everyone that has complimented me on the colour choices. I had absolutely no plan I just made the blocks with the material as I picked it out of fabrics that has been sent to me(which were gorgeous). then when they were made I kinda put the golds with the golds and black with the black and green together and it just worked. I didnīt think the last round was going to be successful because I had run out of the fabrics that I had mostly and some new ones went into it, so this is a quilt you can make like that and get away with it.

I shouldnīt have told you that LOL and made that I was really clever :twisted:

Elle, It's a beautiful quilt. I have alot of Asian fabrics to make a quilt. I just haven't decided which pattern, yet. Thanks for showing. Eiltcoq.

Well ...........its Black background with a grey flower and the flower is edged with gold and there is a little white flower like Jasmine there as well. Really pretty, sounds weird when I describe it though, wanna see a pic I suppose now. (Grin)

After getting the fabric out to photograph it I though I may as well get the quilt out to put the backing fabric on it.

GUESS what.....I donīt have enough. However I have some more fabric coming to me and I have just looked and it has a fabric in there that I can make the centre piece and then the black surrounding it, WHEW breathing a sigh of relief.

ELLE!! That fabric is G O R G E O U S ! ! !
Ok, that's it, I'm going to pinch it when I get there! I just love that fabric!!
Oops, I said that outloud, now she's going to have that quilt hidden on me lmao

I agree with you I love this fabric. Don't think I could put it on the back of a quilt, to pretty to never be seen.

sewmuch 07-31-2010 07:16 AM

That's a beautiful quilt..... Stunning...the backing is perfect...

Annz 07-31-2010 07:43 AM

That is a beautiful quilt and one can tell it was a lot of work. I'm glad you enjoyed working on it and that it was worth the effort.

Shemjo 07-31-2010 08:19 AM

Your backing fabric looks scrumptious! You will have a two-sided quilt for sure!

Butterflyspain 07-31-2010 08:27 AM

I think thats is a plan Shemjo. I could turn it once in a while and have the other side on show.

Shemjo 07-31-2010 08:32 AM

Cool!

franie 07-31-2010 08:35 AM

Stunning quilt. Awesome work. Whew! Takes a lot of patience and time to make one like that. I love your colors.

Cheriefaye2008 07-31-2010 08:40 AM

Oh I love it! I love anything with an asian feel to it and just wish my quilting skills were up to this kind of task! Can't wait to see it again when you are done layering and quilting it!!

Luv Quilts and Cats 07-31-2010 08:41 AM

Just beautiful!

Butterflyspain 07-31-2010 09:18 AM

Got some fabric that might lend itself to some 1 block wonders, something a little easier for the back, thinking put them in the middle and then the black fabric around them.

If you can take a class on Paper Piecing, you will realise that its not half as hard as it looks. The pattern was superb and went together like a dream so I have high praise for Judy Neimeyer designs.

Elle I love your background fabric! How gorgeous the back of your quilt will be! I just got plain black as it is going to hang on a wall in my breakfast room.
I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures of it quilted! HUGS

bluesnowdoe 07-31-2010 04:42 PM

I love it

sandpat 07-31-2010 04:50 PM

Oh yes!!! Of course you know I love that backing fabric!! I'm so glad you showed a pic...your description...well..my brain wasn't going to that beautiful pattern that you have. Its good that you have a plan due to the "oops"...you know, thats just a little design challenge which you solved quickly!

Are you planning to do the OBW and surround them with the black floral for the back or were you talking about the OBW for something else?

Prairie Quilter 07-31-2010 05:01 PM

It looks CRAZY complicated!! Great work...... you're WAAYYY past my skill level!

Dee 07-31-2010 06:12 PM

Very pretty.

Blue Bell 07-31-2010 06:18 PM

Absolutely beautiful. Love the color combination.

Sheree from Chicago 07-31-2010 08:33 PM

I'm looking at your quilt again thinking how unbelievably beautiful it is!

annette1952 07-31-2010 10:07 PM

Wow! It is beautiful!

Wasnīt really complicated, I admit it looks that way, however the pattern went together like a dream. If you can get to a class for Paper Piecing you are half way there, its not difficult just different.
