It would be fantastic in my bedroom!! LOL Beautiful quilt!!
|
Eddie, this is different than all your more traditional quilts. but I totally LOVE it (and I am NOT a fan of batiks). I don't know what you plan to call it, but it needs some space-agy name--Planets on Parade or something. Gorgeous!
|
Holy smokes :shock: :shock: You have endless talent.

Dear Arkansas Man Quilter - it's mersmerizing. So beautiful and soothing to the soul. Maybe someday, I'll be able to do work almost as good as yours. I'll look for you on FB, too.

Did you use some of the Connecting Threads Batiks in this? If so, how do they compare with the other brands? I did use the Connecting Threads batiks for this and really liked them. They had little fraying and sewed well. I'll definitely be buying more of them. |

I have a message from my daughter for you Eddie. *Quotes kid* "My sweet 16 is coming up soon and that would be perfect, why don't you share?" |

I wondered what you were going to make with all those batiks you got recently!
I see a lot of strip piecing in that design...It is beautiful! It will be a striking piece when you have finished it!! I am looking forward to seeing the finished piece! :thumbup: :D |
Eddie, I love this new direction!!! This is a fabulous departure, simply wonderful!!!
|
Great quilt! :)
|
It's awesome! I have seen some of your previous quilts (which are also lovely) and you're right it is way different than you normally make. I hope you're enjoying the challenge of branching out :-)
|
Beautiful wall hanging Eddie! The Batiks are perfect for the design. Can't wait to see it quilted. You always do beautiful work & you are never afraid to try something new.
|
This certainly is a departure from your usual style. It is as always a testament to your talent. I admire your work greatly and look forward to seeing this masterpiece complete. Bravo Eddie!
|
That is so freaking cool.. I love it!
|
Ooo that is stunning Eddie! Amazing design and use of colours. It's hard to tear myself away from looking at it.
|
WOW that is very cool
|
That is GORGEOUS!
|
Eddie, your work is just exceptional. Love it!
|
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Well done Eddie, looks like a challenge but you have mastered the pattern. Not sure I would have condidered
this pattern myself. :thumbup: |
simply amazing.. no other words.. I want to learn how to do those curves, too..
|
I always look for your name on the board. You never fail to amaze me! I was also wondering what you were going to do with all those batiks you got from CT. Now I guess I will have to get some too! Just love your work!

Thanks again, everyone. I've got the borders on now and it's loaded on the longarm and ready to quilt. I'm open to suggestions on how to quilt it. Any ideas?
|
Eddie, that is just beautiful! I wouldnt expect anything that wasnt stunning from you.... you are a very inspirational quilter! Just love it.... cant wait to see how you quilt it.
|
Absolutely gorgeous Eddie. You are absolutely amazing and your talents for quilting knows no boundaries. Good for you.
|
I love it!
|
Another gorgeous wall-hanging Eddie. I really like the batiks you chose. They add so much with so many colors in each circle & square. Great pattern too.
I ordered two Cappuccino Jelly Rolls & can't wait to get them to start making Christmas gifts. I'll have to order some bright colors to go with the dark chocolates/coffee colors. |
Love the borders too! Not sure how I'd quilt it, but I think some circles/swirls in the circles would be nice. Not sure of the background. You might try a google image search for circle quilts and get some ideas about that.
Glad you liked the connecting threads batiks. I guess that's where I'll shop next! :) I'm glad that you share all of your work with us! |
wonderful!!!
|
AWESOME!!!!!!
|
Wow!! That is incredibly beautiful. I love this use of your new batiks!!
|
Just beautiful. I wish I could see it in person, up close. Your workmanship is terrific.

It's done in batiks and is based on a quilt in the book "Strips 'n Curves" by Louisa L. Smith. When finished, it will measure about 50" x 42". This has been a LOT of fun working on and I'm enjoying the "artsy" aspect of it. I used to paint years ago, so this is a lot like using fabrics to paint. I still need to add the borders and will then start quilting it. I've decided that I really like piecing curves. :)
