Tiny Baskets Quilt
 
6 Attachment(s)
This is a quilt KalamaQuilts sent me to be quilted. The border is one inch squares and and the handles on baskets are needle turned. She just amazes me with her quilts. I quilted a leafy vine in border and sashing and just stitched around baskets because they were gorgeous on their own and did a feather in setting triangles. I sure hope she likes it. The last picture is of the back which is another quilt in itself. Thanks for looking

You are so right, she did a fantastic job on that quilt!!!! I cannot even imagine ever being able (or patient) enough to do so much beautiful work. I love the way you quilted it - the feathers really set off the piecing! Just a great job!!!

I've said before but I have to say again: there should be a different word for what you do and what I do. This quilt blows me away!

grammysharon 05-07-2013 07:22 AM

That is beautiful. That is a lot of 1" squares. Your quilting adds so much dimension.

Georgous quilt and quilting. Amazing, front and back.

KalamaQuilts 05-07-2013 02:17 PM

Thank you for the kind words and to Becky for doing such a outstanding job on the quilting.

This quilt grew like Topsy. I first made the little baskets and appliqued and stuffed the handles.
Then when I put some up on the working wall I realized what I had was a bunch of little purses :)
So I added the feet and now they look like purses with feet!

I inherited miles of the vine fabric, because it goes on and on, I named this quilt Kudzu.
If you aren't familiar with the Kudzu vine here are some images

we've been married 43 years now and only recently went from a double to a queen bed. My mind was still doing double size quilts when I made this and when I got it out to send to Becky I realized it was too small. Hence the acres of one inch squares, and of course more Kudzu.

I piece all my backs with simple patterns which shows off the quilting to advantage and gives me double sided quilts, twice the bang for the buck and half the storage problem.

Some long arm quilters refuse to do double sided quilts. Becky whizzes through them like butter.

I sent bamboo batting this time, Becky, any thoughts about quilting on it?
Thank you again!

I have had a few others use this batting and its works great. My problem is I read an article in a quilt magazine that said for it being for saving the environment that it is harder on the environment to make. Not sure if its true or not but that's what I read.
