Reflections of Fall
 
2 Attachment(s)
I just finished this quilt for my mom. It's lap sized and about 4.5 feet by 6 feet. The pattern is "Reflections" by Fons and Porter. I named it Reflections of Fall based on the fall fabrics (Foliage by Sentimental Studios for Moda). This is the first quilt that I did completely on my new Pfaff Performance 5.0. All the quilting is FMQ except the straight lines in the border. The FMQ isn't perfect, especially the "straight" lines within the blocks, but I'm happy with it for the first one on a new machine. Plus, I was on a time deadline and did all the quilting in 8 days (nights and 1 weekend). I still need to make a label and sew it on the next time I go visit my mom.

The first picture is the front and the second is the back. The inserted row is blocks that are the same proportion as the ones on the front, just half the size and not cut into the strips to reverse the order.

Is that cool and the back too. The back is like a modern quilt. You could use it both ways. Awesome.

The FMQ really put the finishing touch on this beautiful quilt!

What a splendid quilt! As others have said, it can be used on either side, really, depending on your preference or mood of the day. I love it!

I love those colors and your quilt. Fall does go out with a blaze of glory, doesn't it? I always find it amazing how adding some darker colors, the dark blue, brown and black, tone down a quilt that could have been too loud otherwise.

Wow! Beautiful rich colours. Love it.

Beautiful - both front and back!! I just might have to try that pattern out.

Both sides are beautiful! You could have made 2 quilts out of that.

love that pattern and the back is awesome

ube quilting 10-21-2014 03:05 PM

This is lovely. Everything from the pattern, colors, quilting and backing is awesome.
I have a similar top made with a scrappy flowers look and a rose colored background. I may have to borrow your simple and effective quilting for it. It works great with your pattern.
peace
