I want to keep looking at your quilt. It is so interesting and lovely.

nicely done

Good for you to tackle this "never, ever, not me" quilt! It is terrific and using the cross stitch as the center...inspiring!!
|
Thank you all for your kind words. I guess the key is making something your own. I keep seeing something fun every time I look at it. I really enjoyed playing with block choices for each fabric.
I love Halloween and really enjoy cross stitch and quilting so combining them seems natural. |
Interesting fabric choices.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]509145[/ATTACH] I found an Edgar Allan Poe cross stitch to use as my centre square. I have stitched it on a shimmering pale sage Aida. [ATTACH=CONFIG]509146[/ATTACH] There are a total of 35 squares, including the cross stitch centre. 34 use different Halloween batiks. [ATTACH=CONFIG]509147[/ATTACH] This gives you a better idea of how the blocks look. The orangey/yellowy/sagey raven on the top left of this last photo is a top candidate for my backing. After all, with a name like Never Say Nevermore, there had to be ravens, didn't there? Thanks for looking. |
Very nice! Congrats on finishing this one! A true treasure!
