Here's the finished Scrappy Heart Quilt. I need two tall, willing volunteers to help me get a proper shot of this quilt but since none are currently forthcoming, I'll have to make do with a floor shot. Sadly, this doesn't show the quilt at its best but hopefully you can imagine its better than it looks.
I experimented with an echoed continual curve when quilting this heart and kind of regret it. I feel I could have done better and am worried that it washed and dried a little oddly because of something to do with the quilting. But, it's too massive to unpick and re-do, so I'm hoping that with time it will wear in a little crinklier perhaps, instead of just looking creased like it does now :-(
I know it's very hard to make out from the picture, but it is bound with a green print from B&C Vintage Picnic to finish the quilt. I'm glad I chose it as it's actually a little more subtle than I thought it would be, whilst still adding a colour boundary and doesn't vy for attention with the heart design itself.
Another finish in the bag and soon to be gifted!
This is fabulous. xx
ReplyDeleteI think the quilting looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I have been looking at heart quilts & see you have made a couple of pixelated hearts but this one of yours speaks to me as it is the shape a heart comes out when I draw them! Have you written a pattern? Not sure I could cope with working out all the maths..
