A while back, I posted pics of my Zipper Quilt top. Well, my mom has a Juki with a 10" harp mounted into a quilting frame, and she graciously offered to quilt this queen size top for me.
And she did such a great job. I chose a medium brown thread, as I wanted something that would show up on both the white and black squares. If I quilted with white thread, it would be invisible on the white squares and similarly for black thread on the black squares. I'm really happy with the colour and the groovy random meander pattern my Mom did is perfect for the modern style of the quilt. photos below! Quilt on our bed.

That came out great. I decorate modern too, so it's always nice to see these types of quilts!
|
Fantastic! love this pattern too.
|
I like this! Modern but snuggly and you do excellent work.
|
Gorgeous. I also really like what you did with the wall behind your bed. Is it wall paper or a stencil? Hand painted?
|
Marjpf, the wall behind the bed is actually wall stickers from IKEA. They were cheap and come with a bunch of different branches and birds. You can put them up in any pattern. I just happened to build a tree!
|
Very nice and the quilting your mother did is fantastic work too! :)
|
quiltinggirl - I agree, the quilting makes it fabulous. There is no way i could have quilted it this nicely on my own. She keeps telling me I should show it at a quilt show, but I think it's as much her quilt as mine!
|
I am about as dense as they get !! I thought " what in the world is a zipper quilt" lololol Wow, it wouldn't be very comfortable!! Your quilt is GREAT!!!!!!! Thanks for teaching me what they really are!! :D:D:D
|
Great work!
|
It looks fab!
|
What a great match. Your quilt and your room looks great.
|
WOW :thumbup: Can I please have it :mrgreen:
|
Love the pattern. I've never seen anything like it. You did a terrific job on both the piecing and the quilting!
|
Look great!!!!

Your quilt is awesome, love the colors and the quilting is wonderful. How lucky for you to have such a generous mom.
|
I love your quilt, and wall. Great job on it all.
|
Your quilt and the quilting are really, really wonderful. Where can I find the pattern/instructions?
|
You and your Mom are a great team!! That is a great quilt and the quilting works well! :thumbup: :thumbup: to you both!!
Ditter |
Love, love, love this pattern. You picked great fabrics and your Mom did a super quilting job! Pat yourself on the back. And PS--Love the wall treatment behind the bed.
|
I just showed the quilt to my daughter and she said "make me one". Sure thing.....I'll get right on that. haha

virtualbernie, you can find the pattern in the book "The Modern Quilt Workshop" by Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle. Here's a link to the book on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Quilt-W.../dp/1592531520 It's the same quilt as on the front cover, but obviously in much different fabrics. Thanks everyone for all the compliments! I really appreciate it. This is only my 3rd quilt ever, and I'm about to undertake a 4th one, so it's nice to have a boost of confidence. |
Oh That quilt is very nice !
|
Is this your own design? I've never seen it before. I really love it!! :thumbup:

Bernie, you will not regret buying the book. It is FULL of really cool quilts. Thanks for the compliment on my quilt. I was worried my colours were too wide a range of value for this quilt (in the book, they recommend using colours that are more similar in value) but I am really happy with how it looks.
|
Very nice!

Oh I'm so excited, I was able to put the quilt book on hold at my library.

Sue, that's great they had the book at the library. You might want to hang on to it for a while once you do get it!

Very nice. I have never seen the pattern before.
