Windows to the World
 
3 Attachment(s)
This quilt is for my sons roommate. Ever since the two of them have been roommates my son has started acting like a normal human instead of an angst ridden teen. :P at 22 that is very important! I used a flame pantograph but rounded all the points and turned it upside down, so it looks like rain dropping down. Also used the variegated black/silver thread so that it looked like light dancing off the drops. :p was getting really creative there.

Quilt Name: Windows to the World
Pattern: I totally forgot the name, I saw the block and just made up my own cutting/piecing from it
Batting: Hobbs Heirloom 80/20
Quilting: Pantograph "Brush Fire" altered
Thread: Rainbows #810 Zebra

It looks like a three-dimensional stained glass window! Lovely colors. I'm so glad that your son got a great roommate - I think the roommate is lucky too.

I love it! I have an area rug that looks almost identical and every time I walk over it I think, "this would make a great quilt". Now I know it does! Gonna make one some day *Ü*

Lovely quilt. You should find out that young man's secret - if you could bottle it and sell it you would make a fortune.

LOL I wish I could. Actually my son I think was suffering from jealousy for a "rough" teenage life. He didnt have one but guess he thought he should. So he was acting like he did. This roommate actually did come from a rough childhood. Think it was a reality check for my son. Very glad he is past that stage and the roommate is a good influence. :)

Thanks for the compliments on the quilt as well :) It is one of my favorites.
