Peacock Stack N Whack Finished
 
6 Attachment(s)
I recently got this back from the longarmer's. She did stippling, meandering, outlining, and beautiful work in the stack n whack blocks to resemble tailfeather's eyes. Not sure you can see real well because a lot was done in black. I did put Swavorski crystals in the center panel but hard to photograph. Perhaps in the closeup you can see some in the head plumes. I have been anxious to get this one DONE and see how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it. These are some of my favorite colors and combinations of colors.

Some of the individual blocks. I did all stacked fabric. The pinwheels were 4-patch posies, then the hexagons and then the octagons. Sort of a stack and whack sampler.

Trying to show the crystals which did add a bit of sparkle to it.

The backing was a wonderful batik that echoed the colors on the front. Have a great weekend everyone and I hope you like my finished quilt.

Wonderful job. Would not of thought to use that fabric as a stack and whack.

Tartan 07-06-2013 05:04 PM

Your quilt is awesome. So very well thought out and executed. I fell in love with that Peacock fabric when it first hit the stores. You did it proud! I love peacocks. peace

That is GORGEOUS!!!!!!

nygal 07-07-2013 04:44 AM

It came out beautiful. I am familiar with that fabric. Very pretty.

peaceandjoy 07-07-2013 04:54 AM

Stunning, beautifully done. I'm going to be completely honest - that fabric wouldn't have done a thing for me. But you've turned it into something amazing!

Also like the Swavorski crystals added, nice effect. I've used them in a wall hanging, but not in a piece that will be washed. Are you concerned about them staying in place?

jetayre 07-07-2013 05:02 AM

Just a perfect quilt in color (my favorite) piecing, sewing- all the compliments have been said and deserve to be magnified many times over. Truly a top-of-the line piece of art.

SueDor 07-07-2013 05:28 AM

It looks great! I love the lay out you did! The fabric almost looks like it glows.

Amazing what adding stack-n-whack can do to a panel. It is perfectly beautiful.

javin22 07-07-2013 09:13 AM

Oh Wow!! that is spectacular!! Gorgeous. Love it.

loisf 07-07-2013 01:11 PM

Absolutely fantastic quilt! I bought the One-Block Wonders book, which is a type of stack and whack, but I haven't found a fabric that inspired me yet. Your quilt makes me want to start looking seriously. Great job.

serenitybygrace 07-07-2013 01:49 PM

Absolutely georgous.
