Of course I mean, do you use fabrics by
the designer Kaffe Fassett? Wildly colorful and full of organic
patterns, his fabrics look best randomly combined, even though the
look is rather busy (ya think?!). A happier quilt would be hard to
find.
But, how does the quilter quilt on such
a busy canvas? At first I figured to meander it. But, the fabrics are
full of circle shapes and so I chose to cover the piece with spirals,
the most ancient of designs. Cavemen used spirals on rock walls to
express the eternity of life.
I matched the thread color to the
orange Grunge fabric of the backing. A less dynamic color of thread
would have been lost. I'm actually surprised that the quilting shows
up as well as it does in the photos.
Well, I'm off this morning for my
guild's annual show in our little town of barely 2,000. Hopefully,
pictures to follow!
Love this quilt, Debbie! The colors are incredibly vibrant, it should be named "Color Me Happy" - a classic line spoken by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Beautiful quilting on it!
