The talented Amy @ Amy’s Creative Side, always puts a well-organized online quilt festival this time of year. I am entering a couple of quilts!!
The first one is my MQG Riley Blake Challenge quilt “A Fine Day”. It is an original design that was inspired by the color of the prints that were provided in the challenge. It reminded me of the colors of the sun throughout a fine day.
Sunrise (bottom left), Midday (top left), Sunset (top right) and Dusk (bottom right).
While each block was planned, I used improv piecing to break up the colors and prints. Each of the blocks, has matching binding to frame it appropriately…which is one of my favorite things about the quilt.
For the quilting, I used invisible thread on top, since the colors varied so much. I tried my hand at circular quilting for the first time, trying to keep the sun theme in the quilting. I loved the circular quilting.
One last picture for the quilting on the top:
Dimensions of this quilt is: 30 ” x 34 ”
Be sure to stop by and see the other quilt which I hope you enjoy ….this one is being entered in the modern quilt category.
Great quilt
It’s fun to see this one again – it really turned out so well!
This is totally awesome. I loved reading about it. And it’s so small – I’m impressed!
This is one of my favorite quilts and I love all the thought that went into each element. It is just bursting with energy! The offset, concentric circle quilting was the perfect choice!
I’m a big fan of improv – love this!
This is gorgeous. Love the quilting and all the thought behind the design.
