A Kitchen Window Finish.
Posted on | March 26, 2014 | 16 Comments
The binding is done and the quilt is ready. So good to have another finish!
Here it is blowing in the wind.
And while the sun was shining, here is the back, too.
I am very pleased with the decision to use the strong contrast of black and white with these bright colours.
It has been quilted with a strong straight line geometric pattern. (Somehow I couldn’t see swirls on this one.)
I selected a soft grey for the quilting cotton so it wasn’t too severe against either the black or white fabrics. And it worked well with the colours. Here’s a close up.
A simple black and white combo has been used for the backing and then the binding was black also.
Just to re-cap, this pattern is from Elizabeth Hartman’s book, The Practical Guide To Patchwork.
I am already making another pattern from this book and have a third planned.
I hope your week is going well.
Cheers, Karen

Oh, Karen, it turned out SO pretty! And you were so right, that gray was perfect. Thanks for a good idea.

Hi Karen,
That is one mighty fine quilt and another great finish. Love the black and white, certainly brings out all the colours nicely. Good choice on the straight line quilting too.
Cheers, Anita.
Everything about this quilt looks wonderful!! I really like the photo of it blowing in the wind from behind and you can see a hint of the front through the backing. You are so right about the geometric quilting, it works perfectly!! It’s great you’ve found such an inspiring book!
Whoo hoo, what great choices you made. It looks wonderful blowing in the wind!
The wind is blowing here too along with some snow!
The black was a good choice, it really sets off the blocks nicely!
