Finally! A Quilt Finish!
Posted on | September 25, 2018 | 16 Comments
It really does seem like ages since I finished a quilt so I am delighted to have finally made it across the finish line with one.
Of course my excitement was not reflected in the weather and I had to make do with an overcast day ( or three).
The design reminds me of mosaic tiled floors in some the the older Melbourne homes.
I resorted to an inside pic of the quilt to give a better sense of the colours.
This is a Tim Holtz design for the layout but I did not use his fabric.
I had a lovely fabric pack that had been waiting patiently on the shelf and it seemed right for this quilt.
I took this one to the LAQ for an overall design – something like bubbles and swirls. Not too sure if I have that right.
The back gives a better idea of the quilting.
And a close up shows that it is fabric covered in a design using Melbourne trams.
The quilt is finished with a red binding from the same fabric range as the front.
It was a bit like putting a jigsaw together when making the blocks for this quilt, but thankfully it all worked out.
I do hope this is the start to getting a few more quilts completed.
It is a bit chilly here so I hope you are having warmer days.
Cheers, Karen

Congrats on a lovely finish! I love the fabrics and colors you chose–very nice!
Doesn’t it feel wonderful to find yourself with a quilt finish? What a pretty one, too. Those fabrics make for a subtle tile design but very impressive! Just perfect for a second, closer look.
I thought the quilting design was of ribbons swirling in abandon, like a gentle breeze had caught them. (Can you tell that I like it?)
I love it! And the quilting is a perfect complement. Well done, my friend!
Your quilt is lovely Karen….love that neat backing fabric too xx

Gorgeous quilt Karen! It looks lovely hanging there under the pergola!
What happened to my congratulations comment? Lost in space perhaps. Trying to say well done on your wonderful finish.
Congratulations, it’s always great to have a quilt finish! And yours looks lovely, pretty colours and a nice quilting design.
A lovely quilt! I really like the soft blue sashing, and the quilting gives it some lovely texture.
Beautiful finish. Love the mosaic look. Hugs,xx
You quilt is an awesome finish. The pattern does look like a mosaic floor pattern. It’s very nice. The swirls offset the boxy design brilliantly. Well done!
A lovely finish, Karen. The fabrics came up well in this pattern – and I think the quilting design works well too :-)
Beautiful finish!! I especially like your first photo with the rock flooring complimenting the quilt!
