Sneak Peek
 
2 Attachment(s)
I'm working on a king sized Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass window quilt ( the tree of life window) this so far has caused me fits! Constructing it in 3sections, top, center & bottom, I've about worn out my seam ripper. Griped, complained, pouted.... Then all of a sudden, today it all started to come together... Yea! Here is a peek at the top section. 😆

That is really pretty!

I have made a Frank Lloyd Wright quilt and they are hard to keep all the lines straight and the same size!! That is a beautiful FLW!!!!!

audsgirl 04-21-2015 08:38 PM

It's beautiful! Are the thin black lines pieced or appliquéd bias tape?

The black lines started as 3/4" wide strips, sewn into the seams - quick, fusible bias would have been easier... But expensive, considering how much I needed. I have (3) strips to add that are 103" long-- Ugh! Going to be using a Lot of pins! I will be happy to have this top finished ( hoping today) I am really looking forward to quilting this one. ��

My DH bought me a book of designs adapted from Frank LLoyd Wright's stained glass but I have never been brave enough to try one. Yours is beautiful! I can hardly wait to see the finished product.

cjackaitlin 04-22-2015 04:45 AM

That is one beautiful top, you are doing an amazing work of art. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us. Mary.

willferg 04-22-2015 06:10 AM

That is so beautiful!

Bobbielinks 04-22-2015 06:14 AM

It is coming along beautifully. Wish I had the ability to do one.

Jingle 04-22-2015 09:29 AM

Beautiful, can't wait to see it finished.

Painiacs 04-22-2015 03:00 PM

Gorgeous! !! I hope my tree of life isn't as difficult! Beautiful

I am so impressed with your precise stitching! Your lines look perfectly straight. Fantastic!

twinkie 04-23-2015 02:27 AM

CK that is amazing. Good job.

WMUTeach 04-23-2015 02:34 AM

Oh, my what a beauty!

ckcowl 04-23-2015 02:56 AM

I've learned a lot along this journey... Too late now ways I could have done parts which would have been much easier.... But its all about the journey/process and it is now coming all together. Yea!
As soon as I finish my cup of coffee I will go in and finish. We are traveling this weekend, Detroit for a tiger's game and our room has a king bed so, I'm going to take it with me so I can see how it looks/fits the king- that's the next big ( oh I hope I planned this right).
I will try to get pics too - it is hard to get good pics of a king when its snowing/sleeting outside. I should be able to show /share the completed top Sunday then I just have to wait for the ordered backing to arrive. I am excited to quilt it. :)

LindaJ 04-23-2015 03:23 AM

Wow, have been looking at the pattern but just too much for me. Yours is gorgeous!

nwm50 04-23-2015 04:58 AM

Outstanding!! Oh my gosh it's just outstanding beautifully!

lorimax5859 04-23-2015 05:24 AM

So far - so good. Can't wait to see it completed.

kathidahl 04-23-2015 06:21 AM

WOW, just WOW!!
Can't wait to see how you are going to quilt it. Is it for you or a gift...if a gift FABULOUS!!

nananurse 04-23-2015 07:46 AM

Gorgeous!! Cannot wait to see the whole thing if that is just the top!

It's a gift, special friend in Chicago who loves Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings. Special anniversary gift, requested by her mother.

madamekelly 04-23-2015 10:50 AM

Beautiful! I had the same idea of using a stained glass Frank Lloyd Wright window too! If I get brave, I will remember you are now the "expert" lol!

MargeD 04-23-2015 11:08 AM

It's beautiful and I think worth the aggravation. I've had quilts like that - I'm tempted to toss in the towel, but stick to it and wind up loving the quilt as it all comes together.

QUILTNMO 04-23-2015 11:11 AM

looks great !!!

maryellen2u 04-23-2015 02:39 PM

It is stunning! This is just the top part? My gosh it will be huge and gorgeous! I remember when you were on the search for the pattern.

ccthomas 04-23-2015 03:58 PM

Beautiful quilt.
