Hot Off the Press - I finished my Jelly Ohs quilt last night. I love how faded and vintage this quilt turned out. I had a couple of errors in judgement along the way. For instance, my idea to use the apricot gingham for the sashing was a disaster, it was much too bright for this soft quilt. Often the designer DOES know best and I stuck with her choice of the soft brown gingham. I also made one block where the background fabric was too strong, so it will likely end up pieced into the back of the quilt.
I got word that my Blended Quilt is on its way back from the longarm quilter in Idaho. I am so excited to see it. I'll probably get it on Thursday and will share a picture then.
Next up, I need to decide on a pattern for a shop sample I'm making with the beautiful new Moda Portobello Market FQ bundle my quilt shop owner brought back from Market and gave to ME to use in a sample! I promised to make a Miss Rosie's design and have tentatively decided to make Two Step, but I'd still like to see the new Carrie Nelson designs from Spring Market to see if there is a better choice (Carrie did tell me she designed one of her new patterns using Portobello Market, so using that pattern would be pretty perfect for my shop sample). Stay tuned!
That is SO pretty Lisa! It is just what the Fig Tree gals say their look is: Fresh Vintage.
ReplyDeleteYou must be jumping out of your skin to see your quilted Blended Quilt!
Oh, wow! That is an amazing looking top. I love how soft it looks.
ReplyDeleteAnother work of "heart" from Lisa - it is stunning, my friend! I'm excited to see the blended quilt, too!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the Portobello Market line looks like - I'm going to have to look it up. I know whatever pattern you choose it will be beautiful.
I love your quilt, Lisa, like I love them all! I say wait to see what Miss Rosie's pattern is going to be like for the Portobello Market fabric, if you can wait that long before you get your sample for the shop done. Nancy in WI
