Yikes! King size batik quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
We recently updated the art in our bedroom, so I thought I should make a new quilt to complete the change. I decided on Batiks and a simple pattern since you know, it's a king size quilt. About halfway through, I started second guessing myself thinking the fabrics were to busy. I put it aside for a bit; it was hard to lay out to see the placement I wanted since I don't have a lot of floor space. I finally just decided to do it in sections and finish it up. Yes, it was a bear to wrestle all that fabric around, but I am happy with the end result. I just quilted it with wavy lines using my walking foot and also made matching shams with the scraps. Thanks for looking :-)

Awesome quilt! :thumbup: And a pat on the back to you for quilting that big beast without a longarm!

I love your new artwork, too. Great room.

That is a beautiful quilt, and your room is so inviting the way you have everything.

Beautiful quilt! It is perfect for your room. I just complements your artwork wonderfully well. I know that making a quilt of that size has its challenges but you managed them perfectly. One of the things I like most about it is that the size of the elements is in balance with the size of the quilt-very pleasing balance.

A beautiful quilt.

toverly 07-31-2018 04:09 AM

Fantastic. Love the shams too. Way to go to not only have the full drops on three sides but to cover the pillows also. I have made a queen size but can't imagine a king. Beautiful colors.

mtkoldra 07-31-2018 04:50 AM

love your quilt colors and the pattern! great job!

sash 07-31-2018 06:41 AM

Love, love, love that quilt. I am also a lover of batik fabrics. Love how a touch of black matches your bed frame. Do I have too many "loves" in this post?

Jordan 07-31-2018 07:12 AM

Beautiful and love your fabrics. Your shams just really add to your gorgeous quilt.

ekuw 07-31-2018 11:43 AM

Thank you for a the nice comments. Here I thought I was done with king size quilts for a (long) while, and my mom calls me up last night to say she saw a photo of the quilt I made for my daughter's bed (queen) and she wants one exactly like it...only king size! ARRRG!!!!!!!

feline fanatic 07-31-2018 12:12 PM

It looks fabulous in your newly decorated bedroom. Great job.

Wow! I love your whole bedroom! Bed, art work, carpet, and that wonderful quilt and shams! What a great place you have!!!

Very tastefully done. This could go in a magazine.

eparys 08-01-2018 02:58 AM

Beautiful Quilt! Love the colors and pattern.

Karamarie 08-01-2018 03:57 AM

It's beautiful and does not jump out at you. The colors are more subdued so work well together. I also have a batik quilt on my bed that I had made, have had it on my bed for at least 5 years and still love it. It comes out of the wash beautifully also. It was a bear to FMQ though because it is large but I can say "I made it all myself".

sue.ross.8782 08-01-2018 05:57 AM

Nice quilt and good work with the redecorating. I love the metal bed and the bench. they complement the quilt very well.

lorimax5859 08-01-2018 06:23 AM
