My Reversible Celtic Solstice Quilted on my DSM - picture heavy
 
9 Attachment(s)
One year+ after Bonnie Hunter released this mystery quilt I finally have it completed. It's quite large, maybe larger than a king.

I am one for reversible quilts so I took my orphan misshaped blocks, trimmed them, rearranged them into something else, and sewed blocks for the backing. I had lots of strips left over (went a little crazy when cutting) and smaller pieces of fabric that I made into 2" and 2.5" blocks then sewed them into larger blocks.

The back is a little too orange for my taste, however, it will be refreshing to flip it over and see something different, LOL!

I found a delightful striped fabric for the border. It's cut on the bias for diagonal stripes.

It's hard to see the quilting. I did feathers in the white border, curls and twists in the neutrals of the blocks, and some loops in the blues in one of the borders. All the quilting done on my Baby Lock Crescendo.

Thanks for looking and happy quilting!

What a beautiful quilt!

ManiacQuilter2 02-11-2015 04:17 PM

It is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know how you can do quilted feathers when going thru two layers of bulk. My Bernina will skip stitches if I do too much piecing on the back!!

Sandykady 02-11-2015 04:21 PM

Wow! That would have taken me forever to finish. Great quilt

All the superlatives have been used above. It is a gorgeous quilt. Larger than king size? Wow!

I love your quilt!!! I wish I could see the quilting better. You did an outstanding job!

Grandma Peg 02-11-2015 09:02 PM

Very pretty quilt!

Barb in Louisiana 02-11-2015 09:14 PM

Great quilt. I really like the idea of having a quilt with both sides equally as pretty so that it is reversible. How in the world did you ever get it all centered to quilt it?

lfstamper 02-11-2015 09:16 PM

Fabulous on both sides!

Teddybear Lady 02-11-2015 10:22 PM

Great job! I like both sides.

Great job and you have given me hope that it just might be possible for me to finish the Grand Illusion...possibly.

I love the back! That is so clever!

joyce888 02-12-2015 11:58 AM

WOW! Great job. I've wanted to do this pattern just haven't come up with a color scheme.

paintmejudy 02-12-2015 05:14 PM

super cool backing! Front is fabulous, too.

pewa88 02-12-2015 05:30 PM

Great quilt. Lots of work in this quilt. Hats off to anyone that has made one. Love the backing idea. A good way to finish using up the extra fabric from a quilt.

grammyto2 02-12-2015 09:10 PM

Bright and happy quilt, great job.
