Baskets, Berries & Leaves by Jan Patek and Alma Allen.
I finished the top back in 2014 and I am finally ready to quilt it.
Needle turn applique.
It's big....very big, king size so I had to push all the furniture out
of the way to make room to lay it out to baste.
I'm hand quilting it using a variegated Valdani thread in golds and browns.
May take me awhile.
Gorgeous! Beautiful color!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and a great way of quilting it, lovely thread. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so beautiful. I love the warm colors. I, too, hand quilt and love the he way it softens a quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Really interested about how you are hand quilting it. I hope you post some pictures along the way.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite designers. Love this quilt! If it needs a home, I'll volunteer!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent! I really like the color palette, the oranges and rusts with pale grey/green stems, or darker green stems, golds that stand out but not too much, and the charcoal borders. Will you sleep/nap under this quilt or put it on a wall?
ReplyDeleteAs one new to applique this quilt looks like the tallest mountain of applique with all its detail!
