This is my first pieced quilt... and here's the story behind it.
One day, as I was surfing for DIY decorating ideas, I came across a quilter's blog. Thinking to myself, I thought how cool it would be to make a quilt for a throw for my living room, so I began doing research. That's when I discovered how vast the possibilities were and how wonderful quilting is as a creative outlet. As I started planning and practicing techniques, I quickly found out, that of all the DIY stuff I've done in the past, Quilting was so for me!!! I have fallen in love and basically become obsessed!
The colors in this quilt were inspired from some stationery that I had. I found the pattern in this book. I loved that it was a fairly simple pattern that looked more complex and the book had great directions for finishing the rest of the quilt. I learned so much making this quilt. It was a wonderful experience!
Now that I'm done with this one, I'm working on a couple of others. (Three to be exact.) I'm still loving quilting, and can't wait to see where it takes me!
Such a great quilt. I love the colors, in face I loce it more against the white background.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had trouble getting a picture where the brown doesn't look almost black! The colors are so much better in real-life, but then aren't they all!
