If you are a fan of the tv show Friends, like I am, you might recall a show in the first season called "The One With the Butt" where Joey portrays Dr. Sigmund Freud in a musical play called Freud! I have all the seasons of Friends on DVD and I play them next to my Pfaff while I sew. I've watched them so many times over, I can pretty much recite every line before the actors do.
I recently watched the first season again, so I thought I would share my latest photo of the Eva quilt and quote one of Joey's lines from that show.
I like the pink setting fabric (thanks for the advice, Carrie!) from Basic Grey's previous Moda collection, Sultry. It coordinates well with Eva, and I think makes a nice frame around the Jacob's Ladder Jewel Box blocks. There will be a piano key strip-pieced border added next.
The pattern is Sweet Escape, another great (and very fast!) quilt design from Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. It uses just 2 layer cakes and 3/4 yard of one print for the setting triangles. So if you have layer cakes that you don't know what to do with, you might want to consider making this quilt!
That is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLisa it is wonderful! Soooooooooooooooo Pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow - this is really evolving, Lisa! I can't wait to see the piano key border - something I'm struggling with on a project. Yes, you've done some excellent work here!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
This is one beautiful quilt! I feel like I'm saying that all the time but they are beautiful all of the time! I love this purple and green. Nancy in WI
ReplyDeleteLoving how this is turning out! You have me convinced. I have to try it with the Tula Pink Neptune fabric.
ReplyDeleteI love it, I love it, I love it...
ReplyDeleteIt'll always be my true, true love
Forever... now until forever
I love it, I love it, I love it...
From now until forever, forever, forever...
I think the Sister Act song is stuck in my head, the movie was on some channel yesterday and it was too hot to go outside and I had to work on the computer anyway... but I digress. :)
But my point is this ~ I love this quilt! It's gorgeous, and it goes without saying that you saw the possibilities for this fabric a lot better than I did! Seeing your quilt, I might have to get some when it comes out! :)
How cool is THAT? Dig it.
ReplyDeleteso pretty!!! i can't wait to get my hands on some of eva.. i just love the rich colors.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is simply gorgeous. Can't wait to see it with the border!
ReplyDeleteSister's Choice blog mentions you in the latest post, so I came for a visit. Your quilt colors strikes my fancy. Not colors I would normally use but they definitely sing in your quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is just super cute and looks very easy. I love Carries patterns.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the Friends obsession. Every line, every episode! I was watching the one with the ball last night (where Rachel gets a cat, sortof) and laughing my head off. Best. Show. Ever. Your eva quilt is fantastic- love it! That Carrie sure is a genius, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the FRIENDS fans. I too, have all the seasons and they are one of my favorite quilting friends when I hole up in my sewing room. I like that I've seen them so many times that I don't have to pay attention to what is going on and can really focus on my quilting project. The one-liners never cease to crack me up.
ReplyDeleteI am loving this quilt pattern more and more as I look at yours and Nicole's progress on it. I like the simplicity of the block and how they are all set in the same direction, making those yummy chains. I'm a sucker for 9-patches and chains. And I agree, the pink setting triangles are perfect. You've got a real winner here.
I love this quilt...I have the pattern and will definitely make it. Love the pink background fabric...now you've got me thinking about what fabric I should use!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! (So far I have avoided layer cakes, but the whole line scrappiness calls out to me...)
ReplyDeleteAre the colors true? they seem more vibrant that your earlier posting of this project...
