Ok, so this is my little contribution to the Garden Fence Quilt Along
here. I don't know how I did it, but I've manage to turn a feminine line of fabrics into a masculine looking quilt. I have that tendency with everything that I do. Oh well, that's me I guess and why I am the mother of two boys. Never have I played with dolls as a child and as an adult I struggle to enjoy buying clothes, shoes, make-up, etc and all the things I know that I'm supposed to get excited about. Give me a tent and the great outdoors any day over a shopping mall. Or at least lock me up in my sewing sweatshop and I'll be perfectly happy:)
I struggled trying to figure out a neutral color to use with these fabrics. White would not have looked nice against the white. Grey clashed with the grey. Anyway, I like the blue, it's a Kona cotton -- Nightfall to be exact. A very fun quilt top to make in all. I look forward to quilting it!
This has a great graphic, modern feel to it. I really admire this quilt. How are you going to quilt it?
ReplyDeleteWow, you are simply amazing! I can't believe how many quilts you make and they are all fantastic. I love this quilt top and I agree with Jennifer it definitely has a very modern feel to it. I just love the Garden Fence block so much that I am going to make a quilt using following along at the McIntryreGirl quiltalong. Are you joining in?
ReplyDeleteOops, got so caught up in the quilt that I didn’t read your post. I guess you whizzed right through the quiltalong!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Well done!
ReplyDeleteNice! it looks perfect! I haven't seen this quilt along yet. How do you think you will quilt it? I adore the fabric I want some of it now for sure :-)
ReplyDeleteI have never considered this line to be feminine...
ReplyDeleteYou chose a great solid!
Jeannette! Its awesome!! I LOVE the dark blue sashing :) Almost all that I've seen so far have white or cream sashing. This is really cool. I'm planning on using hot pink sashing with sme gray/lime green blocks for my crib bumpers. Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely awesome....love it...hugs Khris
ReplyDeleteLove it! My gosh you have a lot of sweet quilts. I think the darker accent makes it very modern and fresh. I have boys too so I know just what you mean about everything being masculine despite your best attempts but I'd call this quilt very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI really love how this came out!! I might like to try this pattern sometime too.
ReplyDeleteVery striking! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat looks stunning! It is sort of a tamed cuteness that makes for a great bold and pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking quilt- you must be pleased with it
