I have finished my Cobbled quilt-
now named "Cobbled Illustrations" to include the
name of the P & B textiles fabric collection
it is made from.
It is hard to see but I quilted it in straight-ish lines,
echoing the houses in red thread.
Once I decided on a path I just meandered through,
stitching lines about one inch apart.
This is the obligatory 'rolled-up' shot
with its spotted binding!
The red door has to be my favourite part!
I used bamboo batting, because that is all the shop had!
It gives a lovely snuggly feel
now it has been washed!
I'm happy to have a recipient in mind for this.
One day this lap sized quilt will live in Scotland,
maybe as a reminder of the terrace house
they lived in in South Melbourne!
Happy days!

This quilt turned out beautifully. The dot border looks perfect with it.
ReplyDeleteYay, for a fabulous finish, Suz! I'm so impressed as finishing seems to be a struggle for me of late...but, I have plans to do better!! Your Scotland friends will be so pleased with such a fun quilt, especially handmade by you!
ReplyDeleteA lovely gift for a lucky friend! I don't mind the bamboo either...I think it's probably more environmentally conscious as well, being a quick growing renewable resource, compared to cotton.
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking quilt! the red is wonderful for adding spark to the black and white fabrics. I particularly like the houses. A wonderful gift for your friends in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteThis has turned into quite a stunning quilt. And it sounds like it is destined to travel.
ReplyDeletegreat quilt - Love all those fun B&W prints. The red adds lots of interest - remember Elizabeth Ardens red door? reminded me of that.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love this quilt! I am a sucker for architecture and prints with houses, buildings and especially doors are just fabulous! I am so glad P & B textiles decided to send you fabrics! THey must have known you would work your magic with their fabrics! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, what a lovely gift. I love the pops of red, they are very effective on this quilt.
ReplyDeletelove your quilt
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt. I agree the red door print is fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteI love the red door too. So many interesting prints in this one. I hope the recipient will enjoy the quilt and the memories.
ReplyDeleteOh . . . I love the red door too. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI like rolled up shots. The pops of red look fabulous
ReplyDeletesuch an unusual quilt, but so effective. I am sure it will be well loved :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific, Susan! When I read your earlier post about this, I thought your vision of cutting larger chunks to show off the fabric was brilliant. . . and now in the completed finish, I can see your wisdom. Congrats on another finish, and how thoughtful to gift it to someone who will love it. You are the best.

I love how it turned out! And that first shot with the blue sky in the background is just perfect. Also perfect...the dotty binding!
ReplyDeleteThats a cool quilt - love the Pops of red in it!
ReplyDeleteThis finish is spectacular! I like the pops of red. The colors are very sophisticated but the quilt still had a touch of whimsy.
ReplyDeleteI see two beautiful red doors at least!
ReplyDeleteThis is sure special! I've never seen that fabric print, and you're right, the red door is special. I like how you added the red accents. Glad to hear you like bamboo batting. It's one type that I haven't yet tried. Happy for you to have this pretty finish.
ReplyDeletethanks for shared .:)
