I will give you pictures!!
Possibly way too many pictures of one quilt, but as I am so totally over the moon with it, and as you keep on asking, I think that I am not going too overboard!
I was out in the garden at 8am in my dressing gown and wellies as it was dry and bright, and who knew what the weather would be doing after a quick wash and tumble (the quilt, not me!)...
Once crinkled, very nicely, I tried some indoor shots...
And finally I roped in dear husband to get the sunny ones at the end...
I can't thank all my tremendous Brit Bee friends enough for making the mega-blocks, they look so completely amazing all together, thank you, thank you, thank you!
And I could never have made this without clever-cloggs Katy Jones xxx
Finer details for those interested in such things...
Quilt design: based on Katy Jones' Constellation quilt from Fat Quarterly issue 5.
Prints: Momo 'Just Wing It', Kate Spain 'Central Park' and some scraps from here, there and everywhere.
Background solid: Klona Teal.
Binding: Joel Dewberry 'Herringbone' in Aqua.
Quilting: Straight line machine at 3/4" intervals using Gutermann cotton (7325), echo quilting one star from top left outwards (does that make sense?).
Size: 72"x72"

ReplyDeleteStill finding it difficult to comment on your posts! It`s beautiful of course and I love the teal and orange palette...and the sneaky peak around the Gordon`s home. Enjoy it Hadley!
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely wonderful, I gasped when I saw it! The quilting is splendid, I'm not surprised your shoulders/arms ached but it was well worth the effort. Please put a photo of this on every post from now on so we can continue to admire it! P.S. Please roll it tightly and tie it with some string so Archie can get it back through the window you're going to leave open for him!

ReplyDeleteDefinitely not too many photos of a quilt that gorgeous-- it is a real beauty! I love that Klona teal. Enjoy it!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I came into the game a bit late so I did not realize that Katy designed the pattern. I love what you've done with the quilting and you can never have too many photos of such a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteStunning Had! It was my privilege and pleasure to be able to contribute to such a wonderful quilt! Enjoy! Jxo
ReplyDeletewow, this not one quilt but two and I just can't decide which side is my favourite ;) I love the arrangment of the big and small stars, but I also love how the big stars put toghether create a secondary pattern of squares.
ReplyDeleteHuge achievement Had, it is so beautiful and I am singing "Both Sides Now" in my head.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. Love your fabric selection.
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo stunning ... love it! xx
ReplyDeleteYou are in danger of taking my title of 'too much photography ... please stop'.
Oh heck, that is a quilt and a half! Great quilting too, well done. And it was an absolute pleasure to be a teeny little part of it! x
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful quilt! Very inspiring! Makes me wanna make a new quilt finally ;-) I hope I dont get yelled at for liking the back even more than the also very pretty front.
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back and admiring this quilt...the photos are beautiful. Especially looking though the window.
ReplyDeleteOh Hadley, it's WONDERFUL. And the quilting- oh my heart!
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I missed this blog post because I'd been looking out for it! Absolutely love all the pictures. You have every right to love it. It's amazingly wonderful and what a great reminder of some of your closest online friends.
