I haven't shared the contents of my design wall for a long time. This one is almost done! After finishing my
Sparkle Punch quilt I decided to pull out a WIP that has been sitting in a box for a while. I started this project more than a year ago for the
Michael Miller Challenge through the Modern Quilt Guild. Obviously, I didn't finish in time. I wasn't really that interested in the
competition this time. I just wanted to make something with equilateral triangles. I have to finish piecing the top three rows, and then I'm done! I will likely piece a simple back for this one. I want to use up all my leftovers and will incorporate them into the design.
The whole quilt was based around this embroidery project. I needed a summer roadtrip project last year and started this. I traced the design from the large scale print from this line. I chose matching colors and just started stitching. I debated actually including it in the quilt, but knew it would just get put in a box otherwise, so it is placed in the bottom right corner where I often place something unique in my quilt designs.
So close!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Love it! Great colours and prints, and that embroidered block makes it one-of-a-kind.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great embroidery idea and I love it with the quilt blocks!!
ReplyDeleteI love how we all started with the same fabrics but ended up with very different quilts!
ReplyDeleteYour equilateral triangles are really pretty. This is going to be a great finish. And, you make me smile... every time I see a picture of a cornered design wall, I know I'm looking at yours. You can't ever change that, you know!
ReplyDeleteI love your layout! This is going to be a beautiful quilt! I did the Michael Miller challenge, too and came close to having the top done in time, but didn't finish the quilt until several months later. =)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I really love the embroidered piece. I really like the negative space scattered throughout the quilt - gives it a lot of interest.
