this is the best shot i could get of the quilt outside today. either it was too bright and all you could see is the texture, or it was not bright enough to get the full effect of the quilt. (photographing this quilt was quite frustrating!) but really, is there anything prettier than a quilt billowing in the breeze? what i need is a clothesline!
here's a close up of the quilting. i really like quilting in circles. it's fun! i used a katie jump rope fabric for the backing and a bright green flea market fancy print for the binding. I LOVE this print on the binding.
the wonky squares make me happy. :)
it measures 64" x 83".
oh, i love those circles. this quilt is so adorable. i love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Love the quilting, and you are right, nothing better than a quilt on the clothesline.
ReplyDeleteAmazing quilting!! I bet it took quite a while to finish!
ReplyDeleteThat is truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and I love the circular quilting.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. And yes, I agree about a quilt billowing on a clothesline. It is splendid.
ReplyDeletethis is definitely one of my favorite quilts you've ever made....it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I love the wonky squares and all the white.
ReplyDeleteYou've been a busy, busy girl while I've been gone. This quilt, as always is adorable -- you have such a gift for putting it all together CrazyMom!
ReplyDeleteway to go lady! ;-)
ReplyDeletelooks great! let's see more wonky! love it!
This quilt is great! I really like the circles too, and all the solid white is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across a quilt blog where the photos were taken with someone flipping/snapping the quilt. Like you would if you were going to lay it out to sit on...you know what I mean? Anyways it looked really neat to be photographed like that. I can't remember the blog though or I'd just share that with you.
looking good!! the quilting looks GREAT!!! nice job!!:)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the quilted circles - they add the perfect touch of whimsy to your Happy Go Lucky!

Your quilting just sings on this one. Gorgeous!!! A happy quilt, indeed!
ReplyDeleteQuilting in circles is really awesome. Great look. Was wondering, do you begin your machine quilting at the most middle part of your quilt? Thanks for your help. Bonita
ReplyDeleteTruly stunning!
ReplyDeleteI "heart" it!!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Amanda Jean!
The wonky squares make me happy too!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Front and back!!!
ReplyDeleteOh that's adorable!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this when you had just completed the top I think it is great I would really like to do something similar, the quilting is lovely, I am a bit scared of machine quilting but I must practice as it always looks so good.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, and so inspiring! Thanks for sharing your work with all of us.
ReplyDeleteDee
Simply perfect!
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by your pebble quilting and really want to try it out, but I'm not sure how to start, or the motion. Any tips? By the way the quilt is darling. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning....I really love the simplicity of it! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful! Beautiful in it's simplicity. Were these circles easier?
ReplyDeletesimple yet striking... Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe backing is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the quilting. Love how it wrinkles up.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous...love how you quilt in circles. How do you do that?
ReplyDeleteBIG CIRCLES!!! That's so great....I did FMQ for the first time a couple of weeks ago and did some little loop de loops along with all the other mess I tried but I didn't think of doing ALL circles....I think that is what I am going to do next!!! Thanks for the inspiration and Wonky Rules!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this one! It has actually inspired me to make one for our bed w/ so much white also. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAgain-you are an inspiration to me. I am going to have to try the circle quilting and I too LOVE this quilt!
ReplyDeleteRebecca O of Buffalo
i love it too! :) i think i need to steal this!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Love your quilting and those wonky squares are great!!
ReplyDeleteDid you figure out the zig-zag??
I love it! Maybe those circles will be your signature style after all - they're fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt - simple, elegant - perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful ! It makes me very very happy too :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are always amazing, quite an inspiration for me. As a relatively new quilter I am finding myself building up a stash of many fabrics and scraps. I was wondering how you organize all of yours and if you have any good tips/suggestions. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat will you do with this beautiful quilt? Is it a keeper or a gift?
ReplyDeleteI love it. You are absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteQuiltingbonnie,
ReplyDeleteI start quilting on one of the long sides of the quilt, then work to the right and into the center....I'll have to draw a diagram someday...it's hard to describe in words.

To the anonymous comment...I think I will be keeping this quilt. I'm very attached to it already...it has me longing for fall. ;0)

Fun quilt. I'm with ya on the clothesline. I would love one.
ReplyDeleteIt warms my heart to know that you like the wonky squares so much. I think we've got quite a bit in common (such as liking order in all things), so it's neat to know that a little non-order can bring a smile to your face.
ReplyDeleteI love the dash of color against the white!
ReplyDeleteThe circles do look great!
ReplyDeletesure would make me happy!
ReplyDeleteMade me smile!!/ Stina
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty. As usual.
ReplyDeleteoh i love it so.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Would like to make it for daughter who is off to college. Is a pattern or sew along directions available on your blog?
ReplyDeleteI just made my first quilt, but it wasn't nearly as lovely.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days...when I put down my knitting needles;)
Just beautiful Amadajean! I love it.
